Journel Thomas
Native to Appalachia, Journel was born into a family that valued hard work, self-sufficiency and hand skills. Both his father and grandfather made tools and furniture for personal use and sale. After many years as a skilled carpenter and contractor, he turned an enduring interest in woodworking into a second trade. A self-taught and enthusiastic woodturner, he specializes in salad bowls made from woods native to the southern mountains, which he refers to as “Appalachian exotics.” He then embellishes his work with unique, hand-carved designs.
All handcrafted bowls are food friendly. Clean with damp cloth. Protect with mineral oil.
