Leighton started turning small burls about 12 years ago, after retiring from farming. He then started collecting burls of all shapes and sizes. About 5 years ago Lanson came on board.
This led to the purchase of a much bigger lathe, and a saw mill (portable rotary mill, capable of sawing 5 foot slabs.) Thus the development of slab furniture and large burl turnings.
