To Infinity and Beyond!
When I accepted a new assignment at work last year, I wanted
to
give my supervisor of 10 years a parting gift. Since he's
always
had a keen interest in NASA and the space program, the choice was
clear. View photos and construction details here...

Becky's Bowl
Turned from a slab of mahogany, which was among some wood
given to me by one of my neighbors. View photos here...

|
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

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.
