Hi, I’m Noah “Noble” Peters.
I am a full time woodturner in Bixby, Oklahoma. I first discovered woodturning when I was 11, and I immediately fell in love. I turned throughout my junior and highschool years. As a senior in highschool in 2020, with the pandemic in full swing, I started turning more frequently. From that point on I became more and more obsessed with turning. In 2021, I discovered the Northeastern Oklahoma Woodturners Association (NEOWTA). This community has had a huge impact on me and my journey in woodturning. One year later, in 2022, I quit my job and began turning full time. I am now focusing on kitchenware that is both functional and pleasing to use and to look at.
