The Smiths

Jim & Linda Smith
I have enjoyed woodworking for over 50 years, but my passion for woodturning only emerged 15 years ago when we moved to St. Petersburg, Fla. I was mentored by a good friend who continues to assist me when I encounter a challenge.
In our different ways, Linda & I appreciate art in many different forms with a special emphasis on wood. We approach my work in wood from different angles but agree that wood turning offers a unique opportunity for unlimited form and shape. While Linda can not tolerate the dust that woodturning creates, she has a great eye for form and shape. Sometimes my creative side becomes lost in the process however I know that I can trust in Linda's opinion on the proper shape.
