Gary L McGuire is known as a “Wood Turning Artist”. He got started a little late in his Artistic career. In 2007 he was put on Disability Retirement and was told he no longer could lift over 5 lb.’s. This was not going to stop him from continuing his love of working with wood. A life that in some way always revolved around wood working. With the new weight restrictions there needed to be an alternate outlet. With his wife by his side, they purchased his first lathe, tools and wood to get his started. Gary is a self-taught turner that has had the influence of a few other turners to help him on his way.
