Dan W. Rehurek
Fine Woodwork
!
Dan W. Rehurek began working in wood some 45 years ago as a weekend hobby. Since then, his work has progressed from simple utilitarian items to turned bowls with complex laminations and intricately carved surfaces. He also constructs specialty furniture pieces, jewel boxes, tables and display cabinets of mesquite and
other hardwoods. He has now added tinwork (terneplate, sterling silver, copper and nickel silver), combined
with mesquite and other fine hardwoods to his repertoire.
!
He holds a BS degree from the University of South Dakota Southern, a MA degree from the University of
Northern Colorado and the Doctorate in Higher Education from Nova Southeastern University. He has taught at
the high school, community college and university levels and has held several senior administrative positions at
the community college. Now retired, he is President Emeritus of Cochise College in Arizona. !
Dr. Rehurek has had numerous shows at Cochise College, at galleries in Douglas, Bisbee and Nogales, Arizona,
and at the Governor’s Gallery in Santa Fe. He was the recipient of the Wood in Art Meritorious Award at Arizona State University a number of years ago. He currently shows at the Tubac Center of the Arts in Tubac, Arizona and at the Chiricahua Gallery in Rodeo, New Mexico, and does commission pieces for clients throughout the United States. He has shown his work at the Arizona Designer Craftsmen ’96 and Out of the Woods
shows, at Tohono Chul Park in Tucson; Desert Artisan’s Gallery in Tucson; Warbonnet Gallery in Jackson,
Wyoming; Wyndy Morehead Gallery in New Orleans; and Madaras Gallery in Tucson.

He is an active member of the Cochise College Foundation Board. He and his wife Yvette reside in Sonoita,
Arizona.
