Meet Doug Heck, a Woodturner in Central Maryland

Many of you know my Dad, Doug Heck, and that he’s been woodturning for many years. It quickly became a hobby-addiction of his when my grandfather (his father-in-law) gave him his first lathe. You can check him out and follow along online on his Website, Facebook, and Instagram.

Doug has been a participant of the Carroll County Artists Studio Tour for the past three years, and he will again this December, 3-4, 2022, from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm both days. He is Stop #1 on their tour map, in Taneytown, Maryland. And as the group of artists revamps some of their marketing materials, my Dad was looking to update his personal image as well. And he knows who to call. 😉

Doug sells his handmade pieces in person, at Off Track Art Gallery, and at the occasional show… and is in the process of moving his online shop this month (February, 2022). He is also offering very hands-on woodturning classes, up to two students at a time. Contact him if interested!
