Art Turnings
These are all "one of a kind" pieces. I design and execute these
individually, so I recommend that you look at the pictured pieces as examples.
I can reproduce the general idea of a piece, but the wood will dictate certain
differences.
The piece shown above, and in a different view below, is an idea
I have been exploring using myrtle burl, Oregon Walnut, and Inlace (a man-made
material that resembles turquoise). I think that it makes a particularly
striking center piece.
I particularly like the contrast between the dark luminescence
of the walnut with the almost marble like look of the myrtle burl. The shapes,
along with the Inlace, give the piece a strong Southwest influence. It is about
6 inches tall and 14 inches in diameter.
Shown above is a piece I call "Lumen". Similar to the four leg
bowl, but with three legs and an arrow motif, I think it both "points and
lights the way".
These two pieces are primarily cherry. The bowl is made by
laminating many segments and then turning. The top is turned from a piece of
spalted elm. It is about 6 inches tall and 10 inches in diameter. The goblet is
cherry with Inlace. It is about 5 inches tall and 2 inches in diameter.
The chalice on the left above is turned from juniper burl with
Inlace. Juniper does not form burls often, but when you find a chunk, it makes
some dramatic turnings. The chalice is about 4 inches tall and 3 inches in
diameter.
The candle on the right is myrtle burl with the top left rough.
The base is nogale walnut. The candle is about 6 inches tall (not including the
glass candle. That is another 8 inches) and the base is about 4 inches in
diameter.
The two turnings above are myrtle burl with a nogale walnut
base. They both have Inlace bands inlet into them. They stand about 12" tall
(not including the glass candle, that is another 6 inches) and 4 inches in
diameter at the base.
Contact me and we can design the exact piece to fit your eye. I
will give you an estimate when we finalize the design. My normal practice is
half payment then, with the remainder due upon your acceptance.
You can pay through Pay Pal and use your credit card if you are
a member of Pay Pal. If you are not yet a member, you can sign up when you
place your order. I also accept checks or money orders.
