Ken Conte took up woodturning in 2008 and has been a member of the Woodturners of Olympia and the American Association of Woodturners since then. Ken has served on the Board of the Woodturners of Olympia since he started turning and served as Club President from January 2014 through June 2018. Ken has lived in Olympia most of his life and enjoys turning a variety of locally collected wood including Big Leaf Maple, Cherry, Pacific Madrone, Walnut, and Locust.
Ken turns a variety of things including bowls, platters, hollow forms, boxes, ornaments, and spheres. Recently, he has focused on turning spheres and causing them to levitate with the use of magnets, the topic of an article recently published in American Woodturner, the Journal of the American Association of Woodturners.
