Gary Ritchie has been "turning" trees into bowls, bottle stoppers, ring boxes and all sorts of round objects since 2000. A CPA from Shelby, North Carolina, he first got interested in the possibilities of the lathe after curiosity led him from other forms of woodworking. Gary has studied and demonstrated at John C. Campbell Folk Art School but he is mostly a self-taught artist. Membership in both national and local woodturning associations has allowed him to learn from renowned woodturning artists from around the world. |

Gary creates beautiful hand-made boxes to put jewelry in and on. They are perfect overnight keepers for his and her jewelry . |
 |
Gary is known for his beautiful Chrome Tipped Bottle Stoppers. They are great as host gifts, state souvenirs, or a special addition to your own collection. Bottle stoppers add an attractive and practical touch when used with wine, cooking oils, etc. |

State Quarter Bottle Stoppers are currently available for a number of states.
Other states will be available when released by the US Mint. |
