Birds Eye Maple Square Bowl with weeping wings. Made of left over wood from a Guitar made with and for my son, Ryan. This was a learning experience for me. The wings look bent but are actually cut into this shape on a lathe while spinning like a blender blade at 1000+ rpms. Ouch!

This is obviously a two-part piece and it is not for sale. The palm was collected after the hurricane on Duck Key from my Mother’s residence. It was turned and then wire wheeled removing the soft wood. This left behind the relatively hard and prominent fibers for an interesting effect. The Black was turned, painted and then the cup was removed on the lathe, exposing the raw wood for contrast.

View GalleryThis piece is created from Spalted Maple that came from the firewood pile of farmer and friend, Brian Jacobson. Unbelievably beautiful spalting! The piece is ultimately finished in high gloss varnish.

This Red Box Elder Bowl is from Russ Ulland, who had cleared a fence line at his place of business, NEL, in Burlington. I guess this is exotic wood (almost erotic) foreign wood, as it is not from Waterford.
