A burl-capped lidded vessel with a tall finial in Tasmanian Myrtle and TransTint-dyed holly. The goal of this piece was to preserve as much of the burl characteristic as possible without placing the natural edge burl on the bottom. Base: 1 3/4" dia. Overall Height: 10 3/8&quot...

This Spinning Vessel has quite a bit of work in it. I named it as I did because I think it looks like a ghost. The woods used are Sycamore, Cocobola,and Osage Orange. It measures 5"x8". The Fingertip Top & Spinning Vessel Tutorial is located here -...

Madrone burl with black lacquered maple foot. The lid is slumped glass with a brass finial. Turned from a green blank, this piece took many hours of thinking and planning before it ever saw the lathe. About 18 x 8.

9''hx11'' Boxelder burl with dye and lacquer.

Vessel stands 15 in's. tall including the finel and is 4 1/2 in's wide. The vessel is turned from Cocobolo and the lid is Ebony. the blank has been sitting in my shop since Kansas City. It was going to be a wedding present but now I think I'll buy them something.

The wood is Red Oak. I used a black patinating wax rubbed into the grain to cause what you see. The next photo shows the rays of the oak which are not affected much by the wax. The open grain of this Red Oak is great for this type of treatment. Later the vessel was buffed with just a cotton...

This picture shows the rays. The vessel rests like this from this angle. As it dries it continues to move. See previous photo for the details.

The wood is Red Oak. I love the grain in Red Oak. A much under rated wood. The size of this piece is 6" dia x 8.5" tall. The finish is Danish oil and buffed with white diamond and carnauba wax.

About 4" x 6". Less then 1/8 inch thick. First vessel from a tree I aquired in south TX. Picture is taken in my "studio". A chair covered with a black skirt and a flashlight for light. This time of year an RV is home. When I get back to MN I will cut the logs into smaller...
