Jack Northrop enjoys telling people he takes scrap wood and gives it new life!  His woodturning features natural edges and turning the imperfections into works of art.

     Jack is a PA Wilds Juried Artist and some of his pieces have been given to state officials. Each piece is one of a kind and you will never find two alike!

     Jack found his love for wood turning while making a bedroom set 30 years ago.  He wanted turned bedposts and the experience hooked him.  It was his daughter that suggested he should sell his artwork and since retiring and moving to Kane in the late 1990’s, he has made a name for himself.  His favorite species of wood are what is found growing in the PA Wilds;  black cherry, walnut, maple, butternut locust and sumac.
