Jeff Hornung Demonstrator


Bio
I began my woodturning journey in 2012 after sustaining a minor concussion in a car accident. Nothing too serious but I did experience 'post concussion syndrome'. Finding a hobby helped me get through that and woodturning ended up being what I really became passionate about. After a couple years I started selling pens and small finished turnings. That experience led to bigger and better craft fairs and helped me really start to understand not only how to make better woodturnings but also start developing some expertise with tools, products and techniques.

The Walnut Log started to evolve from a craft fair vendor of finished goods to a supply retailer. In 2016 we became an LLC focused on providing our customers the highest quality tools, equipment and supplies for woodturning. By that time I was also an international demonstrator and woodturning teacher. Woodturning education is very important to me and I'm happy to offer that in addition to product information and demonstration.
