ABOUT RALPH BYER
Ralph Byer began wood turning in July of 2017. He is self- taught with a little help from YouTube.
His inspiration came from his wife, Anita. She wanted a wood salad bowl. Ralph and Anita came upon a wood working artisan at a craft fair not too far from their mountain home in North Carolina. They purchased two bowls. The artisan, Harry Suddreth invited them to his shop. They visited... and Ralph walked away inspired.
With the purchase of a pre owned lathe, a bowl gouge, and some salted Norfolk Pine, Ralph went to work on his new hobby.
Ralph Byer is a graduate of the State University of New York at Stony Brook and obtained his Master’s degree from the University of South Florida.
Ralph started as a financial advisor with Merrill Lynch in 1982. He is a Managing Director/Wealth Management Advisor with the Byer Wealth Management Group.
Ralph Byer is also a devoted father, great advocate for volunteering, and classic car collector. Visit his blog at RalphByer.net for more!
