This thin wall pierced claro flame vessel is probably the only dark colored wood piercing you will ever see me attempt. It is hard to get any contrast between pyrographed illustration and black walnut. The inside was airbrushed with a gold and then transulcent red airbrush paint. One set of...

Decided to make another pierced platter. I forgot how difficult it was to pierce 1/8” thickness. Normally I would pierce 1/16”+, but in order to safely handle I do 1/8”. Cherry wood 14” diameter. C&C

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...

A small 3x3 vessel turned out of Chinese Sumac ( Tree Of Heaven). Pierced, airbrushed and lacquer.

I have to confess I very much enjoy making these pieces, it is a thrill to watch the piece progress from chainsawing in the field to final airbrushing, not to mention everything in between. Even though a good deal of patience is required. This piece has a copper colour with an over spray of a...

Mulberry. 3.25" wide by 4.75" tall. This is a rustic piece, as opposed to Mulberry Lace's delicate appearance. I turned the vessel to about .25" thick. This pieced was worked, for the majority of the detailing, live on my webcam. People from all over the planet watched me...

This is one of those pieces that took WAY too long - Pierced thin wall walnut vase, the piercings are filled with multiple layers of epoxy. Got about 90% finished and it flew off the lathe, requiring a major overhaul. Any and all comments welcome.
