Jakob Weissflog

Most of Jakob Weissflog's life has been dedicated to woodturning. Born in 1982, he started turning at the age of eleven and completed a formal woodturning apprenticeship with his father, Hans Weissflog. He has worked in his father's workshop since 2005 - leaning, mastering and then expanding upon the innovative techniques passed down from his father. Today he is a full time woodturner who has found his own unique style of work that is architectural, playful and meticulously crafted. He showcases the beauty of wood through contemporary designs. In 2016 Jakob received the prestigious Bob Stocksdale International Excellence in Wood Award. His work is exhibited internationally, and he shares his knowledge through demos in the US, Europe and Australia.
