Warrior Oak Woodturning was born from a confluence of service, sacrifice, and artistry. Founded by Ernesto Aquino, a former Marine with a heart for service and a hand for craftsmanship, WoW is more than a woodturning studio—it’s a testament to the enduring spirit of resilience.

At the core of Warrior Oak Woodturning is a mission that transcends the creation of handmade wood art.

Our mission is to heal using the therapeutic power of woodturning to aid veterans in their transition to civilian life.

It’s all about legacy – preserving and honoring the history embedded in the military materials we use. Our creations are not just objects of beauty; they are stories of courage, transformation, and hope.
