CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QC Life) - For nearly half his life, James Turner has loved taking a simple piece of wood and turning it into something remarkable. At 79, he is still a kid at heart, and you will often find him in his basement workshop putting in a full day of work.
He spends up to eight hours a day in the shop, five to seven days a week, crafting wooden toys that bring him joy. Many days, he is making ten pieces at a time. You can find him at the Huntersville farmers market later this month, or later this year at the Lincolnton Apple Festival.
