February 11, 2023, Chip Scholz, Non-traditional Pepper Mills
Chip has been turning for 9 years. For Christmas of 2014, Chip’s wife gave him a small lathe for Christmas, and he fell in love with the craft. The real blessing of finding the lathe? Chip had a stroke in 2012. He thought he was recovering fairly well, but still was having some cognitive issues. The lathe changed all that. Having to solve problems, work on design and flow, and improving hand-eye coordination, his cognition improved to pre-stroke levels. Chip turns on two lathes, a Laguna 1524 and a Laguna 1836. He has studied with some of the greats in the wood turning world such as Mike Mahoney, Marty Libman and Kirk DeHeer.
