Monthly featured Artist

Bill Hrnjak

Bill worked with wood during his 40 year career as a propmaker, carpenter and construction coordinator in the film industry, so continuing with turning in retirement was a natural progression for him. In his short tenure on WoW, Bill has shared several complex, constructed pieces that reflect his craftsmanship and high degree of skill. He has also posted some well-made conventional turnings, too!

The WoW family is grateful to have Bill as an active and contributing member and is pleased to honor him as the Artist of the Month for January 2026.

The World of Woodturners site (WoW) originated in November, 2001. At its start it was the only interactive site where woodturners could post photos and descriptions of their work and engage in discussion about their art. WoW members think of themselves as a family. They are artists who have become friends and who willingly share their talents and skills. This is a place where the novice freely mixes with the seasoned professional in an atmosphere of shared respect. No one is anonymous and everyone uses their own name. From this venue has arisen some incredible art, some of which can be seen in the public gallery. Enjoy this display of fine work. Access to the site itself is at no cost, by obtaining a membership invitation from an existing WoW family member or contacting site administration at wow@hdv.net. Include your name and a brief description of your woodturning experience in the message. The site is owned and maintained by the World of Woodturners, Inc., a non-profit organization.

Site design and hosting is a partnership between Webenology, Inc and Informanix Technology Group Inc.
