About Me

After many years in the computer and software industry, Craig Timmerman has been a full-time wood turner and artist since 2008. In addition to demonstrating and teaching at many AAW chapters, he has demonstrated at AAW Symposiums, numerous SWAT symposiums, the Utah Symposium, the North Dakota Symposium, Oregon Symposium, and the Rocky Mountain Symposium. Craig has started the Armadillo Woodworks YouTube channel and is setup to do remote, interactive demos. He is a member of the Olympic Peninsula Chapter of the AAW and prior to that was a member of the Central Texas Woodturners.

He picked up woodturning over twenty-five years ago when he took a weekend class at a local store. After that weekend the wood working equipment in his shop ceased to be used for anything except woodturning. His specialties include non-round turnings, hollow forms, spheres, lamps, and production gift items. Many of his pieces combine multiple turnings and bent laminations. He works primarily with reclaimed timber accentuating the flaws by making them the focal point of the piece; often filling them with crushed stone.

Samples of Craig’s be found on this website in the Galleries section. He has recently moved from Texas to Washington State. He has been married to his wife Tina for over 40 years and they live just outside Silverdale, WA. with their two cats.
