ED GOOD • Woodturner

email: egood9088@hotmail.com

Ed Good has been a woodturner for 13 years, having spent 37 years as a high school math teacher in Massachusetts (“and now finally USING my math.”)
 
Ed is largely self taught but has been inspired by workshops with Beth Ireland and Will Hunt in Massachusetts, plus past membership in the Lexington, MA Arts and Crafts Society, the Central New England Woodturners, the American Association of Woodturners (AAW), and the Mount Washington Valley Woodturners (MWVW, founder and currently President).  Inspiration and direction have also been gained by attendance for 9 consecutive years at the annual Utah Woodturning Symposium, the Yankee Woodturning Symposium, and the occasional AAW symposium.

In the recent past, his work has sold in the League store in North Conway, the State of the Art Gallery in Jackson, NH, the gallery of the Lexington, MA Arts and Crafts Society, the Lovell Arts and Artisans Fair, and the Jackson Art in the Park event.

Native New Hampshire and Maine hard woods are his favorite raw materials (cherry burl, birdseye and “tiger” maple, oak, ash,etc), in addition to a few select imported woods.  The native black cherry burl in particular forms the source of his signature pieces, namely closed hollow forms which present the burl wood in all its natural beauty, as well as requiring very advanced turning skills and meticulous finishing techniques.  In addition, recent community projects have included items turned from the original wood beams recovered from the rebuilt Jackson Covered Bridge and the Trickey Barn.

When not turning in his own shop, Ed shares his woodturning knowledge by volunteering in the wood working classes at Kennett High School and Kennett Middle School, and by teaching Beginner and Intermediate Woodturning courses in the Adult Education Program at KHS.
