Harold Jones has been turning
precisely crafted wooden pieces for over 50 years. Most
of his experience was acquired from working as a pattern
maker in the foundry industry. Tradesman turned
craftsman and now artist, Harold continues to gain
popularity in the southeast. Today, his work and can be
found in homes and offices all over the US and
internationally.
The artist, using different
colored woods in segmented layers, creates unique and
interesting designs for a variety of useful and
decorative objects such as bowls, containers, and vases.
In the most recent years, Harold
became intrigued with the beautiful grain patterns that
evolve from burl wood and from wood that has obvious
defects such as knots and bark inclusions. Now with
many of his turnings having a natural edge and the tree
bark remaining on the piece, he uses this once
considered flawed wood to create unique turnings that
are "sculpture-like" pieces for the home and office.
Harold’s work has been published
in Southern Living Magazine and other local and regional
publications.
His work can be seen at:

in Anniston, Alabama where he is a member of East
