I entered this buckeye burl form into my first juried competition. It was selected for FOUR awards and was purchased by the museum for their permanent collection. Needless to say, I was not only shocked but honored. You may recognize influences from several of the turners from SMC.
Last year, I took this piece to our local arts council where they showed our local turner's club's turnings. It was knocked over within 30 minutes of the show's opening, and the top finial and base/foot were broken. Fortunately the fragile globe was still intact. I turned a new finial and foot and entered it into the juried competition this year.
13" x 6" Buckeye burl and African Blackwood
C & C welcomed
