    Jupiter

    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...
  5. Desire

    Desire

    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...
  6. Antigua

    Antigua

    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...

    Threesome Wood: Ash Finish: Danish oil Length: One Piece, 235mm (9-3/8") Width: 90mm (3-3/8") 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...

  18. Miniature Ash 5321

    Miniature Ash 5321

    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.
  19. Dyed Black Ash Bowl

    Dyed Black Ash Bowl

    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...
  20. Square Bowl, Square Foot

    Square Bowl, Square Foot

    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.
