This hollow form is turned from end grain, spalted maple. It came extremely close to the burn pile several times. It was really punky, has worm holes, and moldy. The tear out was nearly impossible to overcome. It measures 7.5 inches by 5.75 inches and is finished with wipe-on poly. All...

Maple burl and Bronze, pierced, gold leaf

This was a project that has been in my head since the summer. The wedding was actually a couple days after Christmas so it was a late gift. I wanted to give it to the couple on their 1 month anniversary so I didn't have time to take a picture with my light box. The wood is maple and the...

This hollow form reminds me of what might have been if a vase was made from the wood Moses brought down from the mountain top. I had a difficult time capturing the subtleties of the different colors in the flamed wood grain. It measures 4.5 inches by 7 inches and is turned from end grain maple...

Fun to turn...... Tried to expose 3D grain pattern by cutting at different angles and depths. 5x of tung oil before polish. www.turnedoutright.com

This started turning as a bowl. From bowl to chip and dip platter, the route included a bent gouge - to hang on the wall and a piece of the work piece flying around my head. That forced the design decision to go with the high center and lower outside. The tree was cut down by a neighbor for...

I roughed this 12 (x1.25) inch Maple Platter in 12/06. I finally turned it to final thickness and finished in last October for my wife. The tree was given to me by a co-worker and friend. The other side of this crotch was donated to the Christmas Party Door Prize collection at work. This is the...

This hollow form vase is turned from end grain, blistered maple. The grain pattern reminds me of river rock at the bottom the stream I used to play and fish in as a kid. It is 10 tall and 5.5 wide. It is finished with Waterlox.

I went to a ladies house to help her sell some of her deceased husbands tools. We were going through some of the tools when we pulled out this blank. She told me that was the last bowl that he ever worked on. It was mounted, rounded, and a hole drilled in it ready to go. She always wanted a...

Simple Maple box with insets of Padauk and Box Elder Burl. 4" h x 3" w. This was a simple and easy decoration method. I enjoyed making this box.

Flower Christmas Ornaments tiger maple disk, birdseye maple flowers, blackwood center. Airbrushed dyes and lacquer finish. Modified swivel for fishing line/hook for hanging. About 2"

Maple Globe/Walnut Finials, Pierced with a Random Design, 2 x 6 h. I like to keep the piercing toward the center 2/3 of my ornament globes. I think the solid portion of the globe on the top and bottom make a nice frame for the random piercing. I like feedback so all comments and...

Here is a box 3 1/2" tall and 4" in diameter in some highly figured maple with lots of curl in varying sizes. Perhaps this would qualify as quilted maple.

More of the Light Sculpture - see view 1 for details. Oh, and by the way... The original neon was the pale gold you see and a pale apple green, but while I was cleaning the glass tube the green snapped and so the tube was replaced and while I appreciate the effort, I wasn't exactly going for the...

Images of cranes were stuck in my mind after watching so many pre-Olympic games programs. And the games themselves, with all those little "side trips" firmly embedded the image like a pop tune that just won't go away. SO I just had to turn this and decorate it to get it out. 6.25 x...
