This is my first post on the AAW website. I post regularly on WOW and I thought I would share my work here too.
This wood came from a tree that was cut down in a friends yard and saved for me. At first, I thought it might have been a Butternut tree due to the large amount of sapwood in the...
This piece is a quilted maple hollow form, carved with a wood burner, 12 coats of acrylic paint sponged and brushed in. The base is a carved piece of Norfolk Island Pine. This is my latest piece of my 'Why Series'
These pieces came from the same log sectiion.
The sizes are:
Front - 6" dia x 6" tall
Left - 10" dia x 9" tall
Right - 8" dia x 12" tall
They are finished with my oil mix and buffed with tripoli and carnauba wax.
This study was turned twice, carved, textured and colored by brush with acrylics. Colors were layered and sanded back to achieve what you see. The inside was dyed with black India ink. A clear coat was sprayed over everything. After a couple days it was lightly buffed with soft wax. The size...
This is the first piece in this study. It was turned twice, carved, bleached and buffed with white diamond and carnauba wax. The size is 5" dia x 6" tall.
Many thanks to Joe Landon and Chris Pytlik for the inspiration on this first attempt at dying a vessel. Other than the funnel redesign, where I added a small ebony base, this maple HF went along pretty smoothly. About 6" tall and 7.5" wide, it was sanded to 1200, dyed and lacquered...
This is about how something done in all the wrong order can still turn out OK. 8" H x 5.5" D. Started with the form, and near the end I had a design opportunity, so I added the walnut collar. Didn't care for how plain the piece was, so I tried some pyrography to improve it. Luckily...
This was the 4th HF turned from the17 bowl blank intended for coring. The checking had already developed quite deeply, precluding coring bowls from it. The blank was cut into quadrants and a natural edge hollow form turned from each. This HF is 5 x 4 and 3/16 thick. The bottom is a little...
This set was turned from a 17 bowl blank intended for coring. The checking had already developed quite deeply, precluding coring bowls from it. The blank was cut into quadrants and a natural edge hollow form turned from each. The next picture will show the 4th HF. The thickness of each is...
Spalted sycamore hollow form. 13-1/2 tall x 5-1/2 wide. Turned from wood salvaged from a local park tree, though the spalting is the accidental result from the bolt being waxed and stored upright on my garage floor. Not sure about the orange spots, but they're pretty cool.
This piece was turned green from a small Cherry branch burl. As you can see, the piece has moved a bit. The size is 8.5" dia x 5.5" tall. Finished with my oil mix and buffed with tripoli and carnauba wax.
This is the next piece in my series inspired by Hubble Telescope images. The hollow form is turned from end grain maple and measures 5.5 inches tall by 4.5 wide. It is finished with aniline dyes and wipe-on poly. All comments, especially critiques, are welcomed and appreciated.
