Turning of the Week for February 6th, 2022

[Tom Gall]

My choice for Turning of the Week for February 6th, 2022 is “Lisa’s Urn” by Russ Braun.

This beautiful, colorful, and the very creative piece is a “work of art”, albeit a highly unusual form for a cremation urn. Russ’s explanation of how this piece came together - as it relates to his beloved sister’s life and personality was very touching. A fitting tribute and a perfect final resting place. Well done, Russ.

[John Hebdon]

Wow what an amazing piece! Anyone who has ever glued small pieces of wood together know how difficult a glue up this must have been. Not only the gluing but the multiple stages it took to get the whole piece together. Take a bow my friend… you are an expert turner and woodcrafter!

 

[Troy Sorensen]

Great work of art and tribute to you loved one!

 

[Breck Whitworth]

Congratulations Russ! I love the different figured woods incorporated into the circle. Also the base.. I really like the rough cut marks on it!
