Spencer Peterman Marks 25 Years With Customer Appreciation Sale

The promotion includes significant markdowns on handcrafted items, such as an 18-inch live edge ambrosia maple bowl reduced to $311 and various cutting boards priced at $139. Shoppers can also take advantage of buy-one-get-one deals, including a paired set of 13-inch and 10-inch salad bowls. Spencer Peterman, who transitioned to woodturning after a career in basket weaving, credits the company’s longevity to a loyal customer base that values his commitment to reclaimed materials. Since 2007, he has co-managed the business with Michele Peterman, expanding their reach from a local studio to a presence at the Boston Public Market.

Sustainability remains the core of the operation. Rather than sourcing virgin lumber, the team utilizes trees that have fallen naturally or were cleared for other purposes, often highlighting unique features like spalted or ambrosia maple grain. These pieces are finished with food-safe coatings at their New England workshop. Beyond the online storefront, collectors can visit the Gill Gallery to observe the turning process firsthand or browse the selection at their downtown Boston location.
