==Early life==
Binh Pho grew up in Saigon during the Vietnam War. His childhood memories are for the most part pleasant, though he remembers the horrors of the Tet Offensive and other fearful moments.〔New Masters of Woodturning: Expanding the Boundaries of Wood Art, by Terry Martin and Kevin Wallace, Fox Chapel Publishing, 2008〕 When the “Red Peace” descended upon the land in 1975, he refused to accept Communism. He tried to escape but was captured and sent to a reeducation camp for a year. After three more attempts he finally made his escape in 1978 as one of the boat people.〔Attractive Opposites by Stephen Henkin, The World & I, a Publication of The Washington Times, June 2003〕 The journey from his childhood in Vietnam to life as an artist in the United States is one of struggle and perseverance, yet he views it as a philosophical acceptance of destiny through the lens of the happiness and success he found in the United States.〔New Masters of Woodturning: Expanding the Boundaries of Wood Art, by Terry Martin and Kevin Wallace, Fox Chapel Publishing, 2008〕
Binh Pho arrived in the United States on May 7, 1979, and initially focused on higher education, receiving a bachelor's degree in electronics in 1982.〔Attractive Opposites by Stephen Henkin, The World & I, a Publication of The Washington Times, June 2003〕 He became a United States citizen 1984.〔River of Destiny: The Life & Work of Binh Pho, Fine Arts Press, 2006〕
An early breakthrough in Pho’s work was meeting the Canadian woodturner, Frank Sudol, at the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts. Sudol’s piercing and airbrushing techniques opened a new world of self-expression for Pho. He combined the techniques with lessons learned from other woodturners; the use of color as employed by Giles Gilson and Michael Hosaluk, a sense of continuity learned from Michael Mode, and the use of metal leaf in the work of furniture maker David Marks. He’s also influenced by 20th century Surrealist painters and sculptors, notably Salvador Dali and Mihail Chemiakin.〔New Masters of Woodturning: Expanding the Boundaries of Wood Art, by Terry Martin and Kevin Wallace, Fox Chapel Publishing, 2008〕
