Cherry Burl with Coffee
A unique method of filling large voids left this bowl fully
caffeinated. Learn more...

Cremation Urn
As a final gift for a dear friend, I turned a
cremation urn to hold his ashes. View photos and read more here. |

Turned Ornaments
The
two smaller
ones are cherry. The ball of the center one was turned from a
small
maple burl,
and the finial and tail are walnut. (Click here
or on the thumb

Mystery Bowl
I
made this bowl
for my Mother-in-Law for her birthday. I'd
love to know what kind of tree it was. Send me an email
if you think you know... (More
photos and
description
after the jump...)

Custom Checkerboard
I
made this walnut
and maple checkerboard for my Father-in-Law's 70th
birthday.
There are photos and commentary on the construction process here. |
Walnut Vase
This series
of photos shows the procedure for turning a small vase.
(Technically, this is known as a "weed pot" because it is not
hollowed out - there is hole drilled down the center for stems.)

Jewelry Box
I
made this
jewelry box for Evelyn for Christmas a couple
years ago.
It's constructed of cherry, with walnut accents. More photos
after the
jump... |
Chinese Hat Box
This
small box
with an Asian-inspired design is commonly referred to as
a Chinese Hat Box. It was turned from a piece of pear wood.
I have a series of photos detailing the turning process here.
