RKM Turnings is just a place to display my creations and maybe sell a few along the way. Hope you enjoy your visit! Russell Miller, Wichita, KS
Utilizing a benchtop mini-lathe and a selection of exotic hardwoods, a wide variety of writing instruments are created that are indeed one of a kind! This is certainly a hobby that has gotten out of hand, but hopefully enjoyed by those who visit!

I love Cocobolo, and bought a beautiful plank in this gorgeous color while in Houston recently. Problem was once turned the color greatly diminished, so I threw the blank back on the workbench for a few days. There is probably a scientific reason for the color coming back, but I prefer to believe Cocobolo has magical properties! (I posted these pics from my phone earlier but apparently they didn't upload...sorry about the repeat!)

Heard back from a recent craft show customer, and it made my day!
"I was not in the market today for this purchase. The quality of your product/work caught my attention. Thank you for your talent. The cost was not prohibitive! Thank you for filling one of my Christmas gifts.:)"
Today is the day! Come see me at the Magdalen Holiday Bazaar from 9-4! $2 admission gets you in the door to a whole bunch of local artisans and their crafts. Magdalen is located at 12626 E 21st St N, Wichita, KS. Hope to see you there!

Fall show prep continues! This weekend we got caught up on seam rippers, as they seem to be pretty darn popular at church bazaars!
