Jack Franklin

Jack Franklin has been working wood since he was a teen. He learned to turn wood from woodworker “Mac” MacFeely after moving to The Holmstad. One of Jack’s specialties is designing wooden ornaments. He is also partial to cherry and has turned many lovely bowls and other serving pieces in addition to the tall cherry candle stand below.
