This is my first post on the AAW website. I post regularly on WOW and I thought I would share my work here too. This wood came from a tree that was cut down in a friends yard and saved for me. At first, I thought it might have been a Butternut tree due to the large amount of sapwood in the...

It rained Saturday for a while, something we have not seen much of this year. I took advantage of the time to escape from chores and return a roughed Butternut blank I had on the shelf. I do like turning Butternut; the cobweb figure so vivid in Bill Neddows bowls gives illusions of carving and a...

This summer the projects with the building and landscaping are without end. I want to keep practicing on the hollowing techniques this summer when possible so when winter arrives I havent forgotten how to do it. I had a chance when weather would not permit outside work to finish this little...

This is about how something done in all the wrong order can still turn out OK. 8" H x 5.5" D. Started with the form, and near the end I had a design opportunity, so I added the walnut collar. Didn't care for how plain the piece was, so I tried some pyrography to improve it. Luckily...

I want to post this Redwood burl vessel; it is from a blank I received from Sean Troy a few years ago. Thanks Troy! Coming from the desert the blank had a few checks; I left these natural and did not try to disguise them. It is 5x3.75, walls thickness is 3/32, the opening is 11/16, oil finish...

This pretty wood comes from the prunings of a large old Sugar Maple tree covered with burls. This piece is 7" dia x 10" tall and was turned from green wood. The piece tells the story of this tree from the heartwood to bark. It's finished with my oil mix and buffed with tripoli and...
