Totally Turned Custom Woodturning
Cryptexes are fun projects that I realy enjoy creating. They were made famous in the movie Da Vinci Code. They can be made to conceal a pen or a wine bottle. Using your secret word to unlock the cryptex will enhance the joy of owning your very own. I make these to order and will work from your inputs and desire's to create a very special gift. Contact me, walt@totallyturned.com with your idea's and for more information.

Walnut and Maple Cryptex with sewing kit.

Bird Houses full size or miniature are fun and enjoyable items to have around the house. In a special nook or hanging on a tree they always add interest to your setting. These orniment sized bird houses are ¾" to 1" in diameter and 1½" to 2¼" tall. The bodies are walnut from a local walnut grove and the tops are sweet gum from a tree a property owner removed here in Hanford. I make the stands and hand bend the hangers. They are approximately 6-7" tall.

Bottle Stoppers are fun to make. I never know exactly what shape I'm going to do until the wood starts turning. I use Ruth Niles plungers that are not only made in America but are stainless steel. They will not corrode or react with wine or vinegar. I can add your favorite coin, stone or medallion to the top and personalize one for you.
