Meet Phyllis J Dessoye, Master Woodturner

'For me, woodturning is a conversation with the material. Each piece of cherry or walnut has a story to tell. My job is to listen and shape it into a functional object of beauty that can be a part of your family's story.'

Every utensil is individually turned on a lathe in our Port Orange, FL studio. We use only locally sourced or certified sustainable woods, ensuring both supreme quality and environmental responsibility. Our multi-stage sanding and proprietary food-safe finish ensures lasting beauty and durability, while ergonomic handles are designed for comfort and daily use.
