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.
- "We chose a large pine root bowl to give as a wedding gift. The bride is an artist as well. It's now displayed in their foyer for all to see." – Bill D.
- "It's the details that caught my eye. The colors and shapes come alive in my Spalted Ambrosia Maple bowl. I show it off in our newly remodeled kitchen." – Elaine W.
-
"I like creative, on-of-a-kind items. I'm the proud owner of one of Henry's Cherry Burl bowls." – Lisa C.
- "I gave an Apple bowl with blue Lapis inlay to my wife for Mother's Day. I put her favorite chocolate chip cookies and her card in it. SCORE! Thank you Foundry Woodworks!" – Eric S.
