About LatheTurn
At LatheTum, the lathe hums, the shavings fly, and the wood blank slowly becomes the singular piece you'll want to hold with both hands. Bowls of honeyed cherry, dark walnut, and pale maple, polished until they glow. Boxes whose lids settle closed with a soft whisper. Platters, goblets, and sculptural pieces made to bring warmth and color to your table, your shelf, or the hands of someone you love. Browse the collection and let your eyes linger.

I'm Hugo
Woodturner | Niantic, Connecticut
For over a decade, I've been turning fallen trees and forgotten timber into one-of-a-kind pieces from my studio in coastal Niantic, Connecticut.
My approach is simple: listen to the wood rather than impose a shape on it. Every grain, mark, and imperfection tells a story, guiding each piece toward its own form and character.
My background in psychology and psychoanalysis taught me the value of patience, listening, and embracing what makes each of us unique.
Every piece is made to find its own place in someone else's story. Maybe one of them is meant for yours.
