Here are a couple of recent turnings that I completed. The first one is a piece of oak that came from a customer's home. He gave me several pieces of wood and asked me to make him several different bowls. This is the first of several turnings that I will be making from the wood he gave me. It is a natural edge bowl from one of the crouch areas of the tree. It is 10 1/4" wide x 3 1/2" high. The second one is made from a piece of cherry burl that came from the site of a new hospital in Joplin MO. (The old hospital was destroyed by the May 22, 2011 tornado.) The contrasting light wood is spalted sapwood. Inlace turquoise was used to fill cracks. The turning is 8 1/2" tall by 4 3/8” wide. C&C welcomed.
