About the Artist:  Mr. Alexopulos creates custom woodturning art in his shop in Annapolis, Maryland. Most of his pieces are turned from tree species indigenous to the central Maryland area. His artistic goal is to highlight as much of the natural figure, texture and color from the wood as possible. Simple shapes combined with graceful curvatures amplify the beauty of his turnings.
