Artist Biography
Steve Davis
is a woodturner who lives near Guthrie, Oklahoma. He
began turning as a rewarding way to create beautiful
and , in some cases, functional objects from wood. Steve
does much of his work in woods that are indigenous to
Central Oklahoma. He also, however, creates turnings
from exotic woods and woods which grow in other regions
of the United States.
In the early stages of his work as a woodturning
artist, Steve turned many pieces that were smaller
or intermediate in size (e.g. 12 inches or less in
diameter and 15 inches or less in height). He still
creates turnings in that size range, particularly
custom pieces. Over time, however, Steve has gravitated
toward much larger turned pieces. Those large, more
complex, one-of-a-kind turnings have become something
of a speciality for him.
Woodturning as an art form, and for
use in decorative and design contexts, is unique in
its ability to combine innate appeal and warmth of
wood with truly imaginative physical forms. There
is something special about the look and feel of wood
that is comforting and almost invites human touch.
For Steve, turning wood provides a wonderful opportunity
for creative expression and fulfillment. In addition
it is a chance to exercise physical and technical
abilities in ways that produce truly unique pieces.
