David Turner Ventriloquist Figure Maker

David Turner is a great builder of figure and I met him and have showcased him a couple times from the Vent Haven ConVENTion showing his carved characters.

I love his work because his style is his own and I love the fact that on many of his figures he uses the natural coloring of the wood and does not paint his figures.

I only wish he would let one of them go to the Ventriloquist Central collection but alas he only carves these figures for his own personal use.

David has done up a great video showing the process he uses to construct a figure and then does some performance. This is a great figure done as a likeness to Jimmy Durante. I hope you enjoy seeing David in his workshop and performing.

    Love it! David was talking about building this figure back in Novemeber when I visited and started it not long after. Incredible job in a short period of time, especially when you consider he had all his Christmas shows and the holiday as well. This was his first performance with Jimmy Durante at an assisted living facility.
