Meet Mike Hunter

I grew up around the woodshop.  My Father had a home workshop and he always had the three boys down in the shop hammering away at something.  I still have the child’s rocking chair that was re-inforced with nails that I hammered in around age 5.

One of the first Hunter Tool  sales was sold from a cardboard box at a Woodturning Symposium swap meet in Mesa, Arizona.  That customer turned out to be an editor of a magazine who soon published an article about the tools.

Since then, Hunter Tool Company is known  as an outstanding tool supplier of tools for hollowing work.  There are many variations and sizes of tools to suit the variety of woodturning work that we all do.

My work is a variety of hollow forms, but I always go back to making boxes, small hollow forms, and Christmas ornament globes.  Then just the opposite is that I enjoy making salad bowls and popcorn bowls for close friends and family.  The latest Woodturner is my Grandson Liam who enjoys working around the woodshop.\
