I turned this in a club challenge. Those participating were given a piece of cottonwood, told to turn something and add to it. I got a square piece, so out came a square bowl, I added the walnut lid and finial. It is 7x7x4 plus the finial. You can see the worm holes. I hit some with CA and left...

Pagoda box with walnut finial measuring 6 1/2" h x 2" w. This box was turned for one of our local club challenges. Everyone was handed a small limb piece of Pagoda no larger that about 3 1/2" in diameter by about 12" long, and we could turn whatever we wanted out of it. It...

Ash Lidded Bowl with Walnut Finial and Abalone Bead Decoration inside lid. 5 1/2" w x 3" h with 2" finial. This bowl was a real design change. The original piece had a couple of wormholes show up at the last minute and I had to cut the whole middle section out so made it lidded...

Ornament ball is wood of unknown origin with Black Walnut finials. Size: 2" w. x 6 1/2" h. Ornament globe is about 1/8" thick for ease of piercing. I kept the piercing to the center of the globe because I like the contrast of the smooth surface directly connected to the piercing...

Pear Box with Black Walnut Finial. 3 1/2" w. x 6" h. My first experiment with trying a cross grain box. I can understand now, why most boxes are turned end grain. Even though this beautiful piece of wood was thoroughly dry, it still moved and warped slightly and the lid needed some...

A finialed hollow form in spalted Norway maple and TransTint dyed holly. The finial includes a replication of the hollow form vessel just under the spike. The original block of maple weighed about 55 ounces. The finished piece including the finial weighs 4.5 ounces. This piece is one of the...
