Walter studied woodworking in college where he learned to appreciate the beauty of wood and
it’s many possibilities for artistic expression. After college, Walter entered the corporate world with Caterpillar
Inc. and spent 25 years marketing mining and construction equipment. During this period Walter continued to pursue his love
for woodworking and woodturning. While he was in the ranching business in Wyoming he used many of his wood working skills
on the ranch making wood items that could be there. This is where he learned that form and function can go together to create
beautiful and useful creations. In the fall of 1998 Walter left the corporate world to pursue a career in wood turning and
woodcarving. He and his wife created “Pine Shadows Handcrafted Gifts” for the purpose of marketing their handcrafted
wood creations. One of the things that Walter loves about woodturning is, to take something in the abstract and make it become
part of reality that people can feel, look at, use and enjoy on a daily basis.
