Hello! My name is Johnny and I'm glad you have stumbled upon the Splintered Wheel!
Since retirement, I have discovered that I enjoy creating, perfecting, and crafting one of a kind, original items and designs from other creative people as well, using my OMTech AF2028-80 80-Watt Laser cutter! What started as just a way to keep myself busy led to the creation of Splintered Wheel. I work with all different types of wood and acrylic. I've made a wide variety of things, so keep checking back as new items will be added! I encourage you to reach out should you have any questions or if you have an idea of something you would like me to add.
I take great pride in what I make. I want it to be as perfect as I can possibly make it. I inspect each and every item before I pack it up and ship it to you. If it doesn't pass my strict quality control, then it won't be shipped. If I have to make another one from scratch, I will.
The name "Splintered Wheel" came from two authentic wooden wagon wheels that we have in our yard. I love the rustic look they add to our wood cabin.
When I'm not working in my shop, you can find me spending time with my beautiful wife, Roxie, awesome daughters (and their husbands) and my 4 precious grandkids!
I also love building Lego sets, and gaming on PC and PS5. Being retired is awesome!
