Hello. I'm Nick Rosato. I'm the hands behind Vermont Peppermill. I'm a professional woodturner living in Vermont. I've been carving trees since 2007. I mainly focus on kitchenware and home goods. I love carving freshly cut trees into huge bowls I call cauldrons. I also like making pepper mills because it utilizes smaller chunks of tree and is a way to express grain patterns in a completely different form.
For five years I was president of the Woodchuck Woodturners, a Vermont chapter of the American Association of Woodturners. I also was an instructor at Shelburne Craft School, CVU ACCESS program, and Vermont Woodworking School.
