Home of the Lathe Buddyᵀᴹ
It all started with a problem every woodturner knows too well — rust. The Lathe Buddy TM was born out of a passion for the craft and a frustration with fighting rust on the lathe bed between sessions. We created the Lathe Buddy TM to be the simple, effective solution that keeps your lathe bed protected so you can get back to doing what you love — turning. It's the product that started it all, and to this day it remains the one we're most proud of. Once you try it, you'll wonder how you ever turned without it.

Blanks Here, Blanks There, Handcrafted Turning Blanks & Finished Pieces Everywhere!
Our resin blanks are carefully mixed, colored, and cured right here using in-house recipes we’ve developed and refined ourselves. We stabilize a variety of wood blanks to make them stronger, more stable, and ready to last — while keeping its beautiful natural grain.Whether we’re turning them into pens, seam rippers, hobby knife handles, pendants, pizza cutter handles, ice cream scoop handles, or something totally new and fun, each piece is handled with care. Some folks love buying our blanks to turn on their own lathes, while others enjoy the finished items we create.
