Turns of Distinction Woodworks 1.88

My name is Jack Wylie and I handcraft custom game calls, pens, bowls and a variety of other lathe turned products. I started several years ago and making pens was the beginning of my journey. I then thought I would try my hand at game calls and after some success I started Northern Lights Game Calls, the name was later changed to Wylie Game Calls. Being an avid hunter, making game calls gives me a great deal of satisfaction and I thoroughly enjoy hearing about the success my clients have when using our calls. I was then introduced to the art of bowl making when I attended a seminar and Mike Hosaluk was the instructor. I was immediately taken with the art and have been producing bowls ever since.


It never fails to amaze me when you take a block of wood, mount it on the lathe and start to work it. I never really have a plan when I turn a piece, I let the woods characteristics, exposed while turning, guide where I am going with it and what I end up with is always unique.

I am a proud member of the South Sask Woodturners Guild, International Penturners Association, Callmakers and Collectors Association. I am also a Juried Member of the Saskatchewan Craft Council.
