Born 1975 in Montevideo, Uruguay. Mauricio Kolenc is a professional woodturner whos been in the trade for 27 years now. Growing up in the hardcore-punk-skateboarding Do-It_yourself culture lead him to early age experimenting with wood and shape in the skateboard manufacture. Boards became a job and 4,500 skateboard decks later he found himself studying fine cabinetmaking and experimenting with the lathe.
