Tom Lohman began woodworking 20 years ago starting with furniture and moving to laminated wood items.   In the past several years he has focused on segmented woodturning creating wooden bowls and vases from a variety of exotic woods.  The primary woods he uses include wenge, maple, holly, bloodwood, yellowheart, purpleheart, and cherry. 

In addition to creating gifts, Tom enjoys donating items to favorite charities for auction.  He attended the Segmented Woodturners Symposium in Lake Tahoe, NV in October 2012. He is a member of the AAW Segmented Woodturning Chapter where his work has been featured.  

Tom is an electrical engineer born and raised in Duluth, MN where he resides with his wife.   Some of his work can be viewed at http://segmentedturning.artistgalleryonline.com.
