Turn of the Century Wood Products 765.436.2647
Roger and Jan Boettcher are incredible craftsmen. Their turned wood pieces are absolutely wonderful to paint on. NO PREP REQUIRED! When my husband has to get 35 surfaces ready for my class, not having to sand each one is a lifesaver. Let's face it...life is too short to spend time sanding when you could be painting instead.
