Turnings




As I hunted through my small pile of walnut, I found some small pieces. With those I tried something new. These bowls are one piece—each bowl and cover—and have burl quality; they stack either way.



Scraps of red oak, walnut, teak, paduk and others were glued together to make the item on the left. The turning on the right is made of maple, black walnut, and white oak became the full body of this oriental looking piece.

A grouping of a variety of pieced together turnings.

Entry Tables


This black walnut table was built specifically for a small apartment entry hall. The experience was fun working with special wood. The crotch wood again shows its beauty.



While working on hall table, I found this piece. The piece was 8‛ x 2" x 8" and had knots in it. Because I couldn’t cut out the knots, I left them in. It is the “high heel table.”
