About the Maker
I’m Ashley, the woodworker behind Leopard Dog Woodcraft, working from my home shop in the Sierra Nevada foothills. I started woodturning at a young age and have continued developing my skills through years of practice and formal training. Today, I create functional pieces intended for everyday home use. When I’m not in the shop, I’m usually out exploring the foothills with my two dogs.
