    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...

    Many thanks to Joe Landon and Chris Pytlik for the inspiration on this first attempt at dying a vessel. Other than the funnel redesign, where I added a small ebony base, this maple HF went along pretty smoothly. About 6" tall and 7.5" wide, it was sanded to 1200, dyed and lacquered...

    Elm Hollow Form with Walnut Collar

    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...

    Spalted sycamore hollow form. 13-1/2 tall x 5-1/2 wide. Turned from wood salvaged from a local park tree, though the spalting is the accidental result from the bolt being waxed and stored upright on my garage floor. Not sure about the orange spots, but they're pretty cool.
