Mathew Tanner has called Cache Valley, Utah home for over 35 years. His lifelong love of wood led him to the art of woodturning more than two decades ago, and he has been mastering the lathe for over 21 years. Along his journey, Mathew has had the privilege of studying under several renowned wood-turning masters, refining his skills and deepening his passion for the craft.
Dedicated to working with locally sourced materials, Mathew is often on the lookout for newly felled trees or overlooked pieces of wood that others might discard. He has a gifted eye for form, creating pieces that balance natural beauty with elegant craftsmanship. As his art continues to grow in popularity, Mathew remains grounded in the simple joy that turning wood brings him — shaping rough pieces of nature into timeless, handcrafted masterpieces.
