My name is Øistein Jensen, which is pronounced "Oeistein Jensen". I have treaded my children ages in Askoy municipality, near by Bergen. After I have moved around in Norway in some years through my job, now I live in Austevoll municipality, situated one hour travel by express boat south of Bergen. I was born in 1951.

My hobby has been connected with wood since my children ages. In 15-20 years I was building many model ships - sailing ships and fishing vessels, but for a long time I desired to try woodcarving and in five years from 1992 I have carved many clocks in the 'Acanthus' style.

However, my wife tried to persuade me several times to try chipcarving, and I eventually let her win! I purchased some books on the topic of chipcarving and also decided to purchase a lathe, a Nova 3000. So, from 1997 my hobby has being woodturning in combination with chipcarving, but at the time woodturning take more place in my hobby, especially Segmented Woodturning.
