  1. Segmented Maple and Walnut Box

    Segmented Maple and Walnut Box

    My first segmented piece… I used maple with walnut veneer to give a “grout” line look. Top and bottom rings are from walnut to contrast and tie together. Lid is curly maple with walnut knob, reflecting the box shape.
  2. Walnut Crotch Platter

    Walnut Crotch Platter

    This was a backyard tree. It seems that urban walnuts typically have a wider colour variation than forest walnuts, at least in southern Ontario. Cut in July 2021, turned green the same month, re-turned February 2022. Five coats of wipe-on poly followed by Beall buff. 18.5 inches in diameter, 2...

    IPE Brazilian Walnut

    I recently aquired some IPE Brazilian Walnut deck boards from a friend. As the wood is beautiful, my understanding is it's very toxic. Does anyone know anything about this wood and how safe it is for food items. Attached is a bowl I made from it. Thanks for any insight.

  8. Large Walnut Platter

    Large Walnut Platter

    This walnut was sawn in 1990 and then air dried for 31 years. I call it a platter, some a shallow bowl. It is 23.5 inches in diameter by 2.5 inches high. The long period of air drying produced very rich, chocolate brown colours. It is finished with 8 thin coats of wipe-on poly.

    My first segmented turning an urn for a friends dads cremains

    I have a dear friend that wanted an urn for her dads cremains. We looked at a lot of different designs and she decided she wanted a segmented urn. I had never done a segmented turning before so I began educating myself on segmented turning. After a lot of research I found how to make a sled for...

    English Walnut Vessel

    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...
