bowl

8” x 3.5”; sanded to 400, no finish Spent the better part of a humid Georgia afternoon last summer hauling pieces of this fallen maple up a steep embankment in hopes that it would yield something usable. Really happy with the spalting, so seems like it was worth the effort 😅 After sanding to...

10” x 3.5” I created a collection of these ebonized cherry bowls for an art fair last year and this is my favorite of the bunch. It’s a simple shape, but the rich tones of the cherry really pop against the black exterior. I soaked the outside with Earl Grey before applying the iron oxide to...

11” x 4”, finished with Walrus oil and buffed with brown tripoli Evidence that I make things other than shiny hollow forms 😅. Made this bowl as a housewarming gift for some friends who just built a new home. Their only ask what that the bowl could hold their remote controls, so I make the base...

Inside of previous bowl.

Almost 11" diameter. Some small cracks and one worm hole filled with epoxy. Tried and Tried Danish Oil finish. Comments and critiques welcome.

This piece was made during the Dave Hardy's Tuesday Night Meeting collaborative project. Its a collaboration between Joe Seltzer, Dan Zobel and I. Turned, Burned and Guilded (Hey, now there's a name!)

I turned this bowl using the long-tenon method, kicking it off-axis to turn the inside portion of the bowl. I then turned two additional facets on the outside to catch the light at different angles. The rose engine accents were turned on my MDF Rose Engine 2.0 while the bowl was off-axis. The...

This wasn't my first bowl, but it was my first time using a bowl gouge (I used carbide scrapers before). Finished and photographed almost a year ago. Some feather figure and nice chatoyance.

Textured and engraved white ash bowl. Colored with metallic and iridescent acrylic paint over black India ink. Finished with clear, gloss enamel.

This unique style bowl was one that caught my eye when I saw it. I decided to try and create the form, not knowing what I was getting into. Needless to say it turned out very nicely! I named the title after, one--getting into the unknown about turning it and two--because it reminds me of a black...

11 inch cherry bowl with cherry utensils

Time for a break from boxes and go to something different.....this ogee bowl is a companion to my Maple Burl ogee bowl I made earlier this year. Decided a darker wood would make a nice two piece set. Wood is Spalted Honduras Rosewood and it is turned to a thin wall with a foot. Finished with wax...

Manzanita Fountain came from some of the manzanita root burls salvaged from the wildfires around Los Angeles c. 2011. After plenty of postage to UPS and chain saw chains dulled by the dirt and rocks, I was able to get som nice pieces. This one turned out well enough to earn a 1st place in 3D...
