"Halos" was my first commissioned piece. Created from AAA grade highly figured Maple, it boasts continuous rings from the lip to the base that make the grain pattern appear pointed and wavy. - Sold
"Halos Too" is an AAA grade Maple plate that has significant figuring and was created to accompany "Halos" as a pair, although not commissioned to be so. They currently live in separate homes, so for the avid collector it will be a fun challenge to reunite them someday. - Sold
"Dragon's Fire' was already a priceless work of art created by nature. Rare naturally Spalted Black Maple had a Dragon spitting Fire in the lines of natural spalted decay. Unfortunately, this piece started to crack during drying and had to be redesigned to ensure its longevity in its future owners care. To this day it is among the most valuable items I have ever created. The new owner also purchased "From the Ashes" which was the opposite face of the block this bowl was crafted from. - Sold
"From the Ashes" - Rare Spalted Black Maple. This bowl and 'Dragon's Fire" are cut from the same block. - Sold on 12/20/2023
"Noel" - Sequoia - Gifted
"The Cauldron" is one of the most sought after items in the collection. Designed out of an 8"x8" AAAA Figured Beechwood block. My Mother absolutely fell in love with it and although I had a buyer at the ready, she received it as a Christmas present this year. This is a 2 part item and has a gorgeous Elm base. - Gifted
"1st Band" - Although a reminder of my days doing concert photography, this Mahogany bowl was actually named for the copper band and my first attempt at adding a decorative inlay. - Sold
"Faunus" and its counterpart "Silvanus" were named by my old friend that now lives in Colorado. This piece was turned from an English Walnut log cut in half along the pith. The interior shows a small amount of the bark, as well as a larger swath near the base. The end cut "Faunus" is sitting on in this image is "Silvanus". - Sold
"Silvanus" and its counterpart "Faunus" were named by my old friend that now lives in Colorado. This piece was turned from an English Walnut logs end cut. - Sold
"Knottingham" was my first attempt at Burl Cherry. The colors reminded me the Gibson Les Paul 1950's Guitar. - Known as Heritage Cherry Sunburst. Though "Sunburst" was my initial choice for a name, the amount of knots encompassing almost every angle became "Knottingham". - Sold
"Lil Bear" is a trinket bowl fashioned out of English Walnut. The Rorschach test in my mind saw a little bear face in the bark, and was aptly named. - Sold
"Solstice" was crafted from English Walnut and created on the winter solstice of 2023. - Sold
"Upper Crust" was designed out of the opposite side of the split it is sitting on. Turned with the bark on, it was the first of its kind for me and outside of "what I thought" was my comfort zone. Surprisingly enough, it was easier that I had expected and the anxiety quickly turned to joy. Planning to turn more of these in the future. - Sold
"Wally" If you haven't noticed by now, I kind of have an English Walnut obsession. It turns so nicely and is an absolute ideal grain that produces exceptional finishes. Also, it is trending currently and is not extremely difficult to source. Expect to see more of this material in my store in the near future, but be sure to hit the "Buy Now Button" if you want it, as they are sure to sell fast! - Sold
