ABOUT RANDY MCLEOD

A fourth generation dairy farmer, Randy was born and raised on Villa Croft Farm in Caledon East.

Surrounded by space and nature, and never having travelled more than three hours in any direction, Randy explored his enviroment eagerly as he developed a passion for photography.

Randy's curiosity, appreciation for nature, and a desire to challenge himself took him to a local wood show. He observed that traditional woodworkers were often missing digits, whereas
a woodturners hands were intact. From there Randy built his own lathe (affectionately know as "the beast"). The "Beast" has since retired as Randy moved on to a finer lathe producing large wooden vessels.

The wood used is hand selected and harvested by Randy, (mainly from Villa Croft Woods) with each piece turned to best enhance the wood's natural form and beauty.

With limited production, Randy shows once or twice per year. Randy's pieces have been available at The Headwaters Arts Festival, the Made of Wood Show, as a guest in the Caledon East Studio Tour and Villa Croft Farm.

Custom pieces can be made from Villa Croft wood or a client may have a historic or sentimental piece of wood from which Randy will create an heirloom.
