Nope cant say I have heard of him :no:

Looks like he knows his way around a lathe:U

[Manuka Jock]

Yeah , he does eh .
they certainly are relaxing to look at , not too busy on the eye .
I gotta strong urge pick them up and hold them .....

[Ed Reiss]

Feeling calmer just looking at his turnings....think I can go off the Prozac now:minigun:....pehaps not!!

The guy certainly has found a unique niche in the turning market....more than likely very profitable!

An amazing repertoire. Even raises the bar for feeble imitations. Definitely worth watching for future developments. Thanks, Hughie.

I'd just like to know where he learned to keep wood from cracking! :D
Did you read that part? Says he know how to cut the wood to keep it from cracking... or something to that effect.

[Manuka Jock]

Yes I was wondering that too , but it may be his copy writer
Hans Frieder Dietz of University Bielefeld who is waxing all deep and mystical ,

"As we all know, wood continually changes, warping and cracking. Siegfried Schreiber has succeeded in “relaxing” the tensions in the wood, and ours along with them. His deep understanding of the material manifests itself in his objects: regardless of size, whether they are large and massive or delicate and translucent – none of them ever warps or cracks."

rather than Siegfried Schreiber himself .

Still , if he has cracked the secret , lets hope it leaks out pretty soon
