The founder Kerry Harrison is the designer and creator of the "Simple Woodturning Tools" line of carbide tools and accessories. His favorite line is "I love to make things". It all started many, many years ago after his wife bought him his first wood lathe. He's been "making things" and "designing things" ever since.

Working along side his daughter Anne Burdick, for many years, he has instilled in her the desire to also be a "maker" and follow in his footsteps. Both are now creating and turning and being inspired to create new things.

Simple Woodturning Tools® and accessories are CNC machined by Harrison Specialties in Ramsey, Minnesota. We are a small family owned and operated machining and manufacturing company employing Anne and her husband Josh and sometimes their children. 

A true generational family business.
