This is my next attempt at a hollow form, my largest so far, using this piece of end grain black ash. My intention was to feature the small growth rings around the wide sapwood display. This tree displays 107 years in growth rings, less than .10 per year. Overall 8"x6". The opening is...
Here is the latest piece in my Open Spiral series. This is a commissioned work and the buyer has been calling frequently, so I named the piece Desire. The body of the piece was created during the filming of my instructional DVD showcasing my Cable Driven Router System.
Size is 19 tall x 13...
My wife absolutely fell in love with this piece. When I told her I named it Antigua, she informed me I had better not sell this one. I am pleased with the coloration; it brings back fond memories of the Caribbean waters of Antigua where we honeymooned. The hollow form vase is turned from end...
This hollow form is turned from end grain, fiddle back ash. It measures 7 tall by 4.5 wide. It is finished with aniline dyes, spray lacquer, and Briwax tinted black with MIXOL.
Ash Lidded Bowl with Walnut Finial and Abalone Bead Decoration inside lid. 5 1/2" w x 3" h with 2" finial. This bowl was a real design change. The original piece had a couple of wormholes show up at the last minute and I had to cut the whole middle section out so made it lidded...
This is one of 3 hollow pieces turned within 24 hrs of taking a mountain ash down in my front yard that was almost dead. Piece is 4 in. wide and slightly less high and exhibits spalting. Finish is 3 coats of tung oil .

This piece was a bit of a challenge as the spheres had to be as close to perfect as possible otherwise it was doomed to fail. I'm pretty happy with the finished piece.
I would like...

This is the most technically accurate piece in my open spiral series.
Size: 14" wide x 16" tall
All comments are appreciated thanks.
This is the first piece of my open spiral series, entitled "the Phoenix" ("the Fury", shown in my gallery is the second of the series). The Phoenix was my entry into a local woodturning competition titled "It Grows on Trees which featured works made from trees taken by...
This ash piece is a bit of a departure for me, in that it's only about 2 inches tall. Was initially thinking of using it as a knob for a lid on a much larger container, but I decided otherwise. It lay around for awhile and I decided to hollow, sandblast, dye and wax it.
After seeing all the dyed items lately I had to finally try it for myself. I have some small black ash cores from bowls that I had saved for enhancement practice and I felt these would be good for dyeing. This 6.5x2.5 bowl was dyed with Sumi ink, sealed with oil finish and then a coat of...
This bowl is ash, about 10 1/2 by 13 inches and the most striking feature is probably not the foot, but the bark on the far side. The non-bark edges were left rough in keeping with the overall theme.
