Our Story

Foundry Woodworks was built by craftsman and woodturner, Henry Zipperlen.

His deep-rooted passion for wood and earth work has turned a fascination with woodturning into a way of life. Using fallen wood, he collects, ages and turns wooden bowls, pens and eternity wooden eggs on a daily basis. This process continually inspires him to read, test and explore new techniques on a wide variety of wood types.

The outcome of his labor and skill has people talking.
