Maple Globe/Walnut Finials, Pierced with a Random Design, 2 x 6 h. I like to keep the piercing toward the center 2/3 of my ornament globes. I think the solid portion of the globe on the top and bottom make a nice frame for the random piercing. I like feedback so all comments and...

Here is a box 3 1/2" tall and 4" in diameter in some highly figured maple with lots of curl in varying sizes. Perhaps this would qualify as quilted maple.

More of the Light Sculpture - see view 1 for details. Oh, and by the way... The original neon was the pale gold you see and a pale apple green, but while I was cleaning the glass tube the green snapped and so the tube was replaced and while I appreciate the effort, I wasn't exactly going for the...

Images of cranes were stuck in my mind after watching so many pre-Olympic games programs. And the games themselves, with all those little "side trips" firmly embedded the image like a pop tune that just won't go away. SO I just had to turn this and decorate it to get it out. 6.25 x...

This is the second required photo for the contest. This shot shows one leaf after extensive hand sanding (with the torn up hands to prove it) and about 4 coats of pre-cat lacquer. This is the same wood as the plate I showed in Richmond. These trees line our street. So I grabbed a leaf off...

All I can say is be carefull what you do because it can come back and bite you ! A few weeks ago I sent my friend Robin Costelle a finial and challenged him to put something "under it". Well early last week I received a package in the mail from Robin and guess what was in it. The...
