Woodchips Designs was started when retired Machinist Bruce Kaplan discovered his passion for the art of woodworking. Nestled in the mountains of San Bernardino,
Ca., Bruce pulls his inspiration from his environment and allows his medium to control his designs. Never one to turn down a challenge, Bruce is partial to using oak, avocado wood, olive wood, and when available, ironwood. Before as a machinist I made what the boss wanted, and now I make what the wood tells me it would like to be. I help it become something more than a dead tree or firewood. Living up in Big Bear the fresh air and clean smell of wood turning is cleansing for the soul. The challenge of working with wood is never knowing what the final product will be. I'll start with an idea and 99% of the time I get there with it, but that 1% shows me something unbelievably beautiful and different." We welcome custom inquiries and are always open to a new challenge
