Mike Foster Designer's Showcase

Meet the Artist ...Mike Foster
Michael Foster is a dentist by profession and a turner by passion. He started woodworking in 1982, soon after graduation from dental school. A friend taught him basic shop skills in his woodshop. Mike’s first bowl was turned on a Shopsmith that he purchased when he moved to New York in 1986. He decided to spend a weekend learning to turn with Russ Zimmerman, after chasing the Shopsmith around his shop and having his share of catches and flying shrapnel. The remainder of his turning education was largely trial and error... –Excerpt from Issue 27
