When you look at his work, it’s hard to imagine that when he stepped into the shop in the summer of 2021 that he’d never run a lathe of any sort before, let alone a mill.

Kelsey’s innate abilities were the seed that was planted in the fertile soil of Plumier, and its growth has been astounding. 

Kelsey is a prolific creator and has proven to be an outstanding craftsperson and artist.
