What a great experience! Guy
is a super personable, passionate, and knowledgeable teacher.
Everything we hoped for and more. We entered his studio knowing
nothing, and left with a really awesome bowl that we will
treasure forever. Highly recommend!

Wood turning is something everyone
should try once in your life. The taking of a block of rough
wood from a newly felled tree into a piece of functional art is
truly transformative. Guy takes you there step by step with his
easy soft spoken teaching and gentle guidance. Guys shop is
comfortable and well set up for teaching this craft. From
picking your own wood to finishing it all is there and ready for
you. His stories and experiences add great color to the day.
This is a can’t miss opportunity when you are visiting Maine. -

We had so much fun working with Guy! He was an excellent
teacher—super patient, funny, and a great storyteller. We had no
prior experience and Guy made sure we felt comfortable taking
part in every stage. Our bowl is so beautiful and we can't wait
to show it off. We learned so much and are looking forward to
the next time we can take a wood working class. Would definitely
recommend this experience.

The education and experience
my son and I had will be a lifelong memory. Guy was great! He
was a very good teacher, encouraging and very patient. He has
vast knowledge in wood turning and a very well equipped work
shop. The final product came out beautiful. We made a bowl from
a block of elm, and it will be a centerpiece in our home
forever. I highly recommend this workshop. On a side note Guy
makes some excellent Blueberry Jam. He had some for sale in his
shop. I wish I would have got more!
Guy is a
phenomenal instructor. He is kind, personable, knowledgeable and
a story teller while weaving in learning lessons. Highly
recommend Guy and you leave with an awesome product. - David
First-time
wood turning experience, but Guy got me hooked! He is so
pleasant, welcoming, and full of knowledge. The finished product
is the best keepsake I could imagine taking home from this trip.
Guy's woodshop was a place I wanted to stay all day long. - Ryan
Had an absolutely amazing time turning wood with Guy in his
beautiful workshop. First off the place is stunning and the
entire shop is solar powered (he basically built and fitted the
entire place himself) and it was only up from there. Guy was
attentive, fun, smart, and a great teacher. We had so much fun
and learned a ton during our experience and walked away with a
beautiful lathed bowl that's one of a kind. I'll never forget
it! Highly highly recommended. - Alex
My wife and
I had a wonderful time with Guy. He really made it a hands-on
experience for both of us and let us make the choices on what
and how we wanted things to look. He really explained the
process well and assisted when needed. We love our bowl. It’s a
piece of work we will forever cherish. We would highly recommend
this experience to anyone interested. - Lucas
I really
enjoyed this experience! Guy really lets the guest set the
pace-design the bowl, do the work, ask questions and feel
comfortable. He teaches you about the background behind word
working and really makes you feel like you are laying a
foundation. Not just making a one time wheel. 10/10 recommend.

We did Guy’s
bowl making experience for a fun date on a rainy day! We ended
with a beautiful bowl that is now a centerpiece on our table. He
was very patient with us and let us do it all ourselves but he
also stepped in at hard spots so we wouldn’t ruin it. Great
experience that I would highly recommend! - Sarah
This was a
very fun hands on learning and making experience! Guy was so
patient with us and very knowledgeable, we loved learning about
his practice and sharing in it with our own bowl making. He has
an extra special collection of puns to share which we loved as
well. Thanks so much and we hope others will take a turn!
