walnut

This walnut was sawn in 1990 and then air dried for 31 years. I call it a platter, some a shallow bowl. It is 23.5 inches in diameter by 2.5 inches high. The long period of air drying produced very rich, chocolate brown colours. It is finished with 8 thin coats of wipe-on poly.

This is a 21" diameter piece turned from a locally (Scituate, MA) sourced black walnut tree that was uprooted in a storm. The finish is tung oil.

I have a dear friend that wanted an urn for her dads cremains. We looked at a lot of different designs and she decided she wanted a segmented urn. I had never done a segmented turning before so I began educating myself on segmented turning. After a lot of research I found how to make a sled for...

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 vase is 18 inchs tall and the finial is inspired by Cindy Drozda

Turned from end grain walnut, this hollow form vessel measures 6.75 inches by 4 inches and is finished with wipe-on poly. The finish was then buffed with 0000 steel wool to a satin finish. All comments, especially critiques, are welcomed and appreciated.

Turned in upstate NY on a visit to a fellow woodturner www.turnedoutright.com

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...

This was inspired by Larry Marley's Cherry pen that he posted on here. I thought I'd give it a try and made it in Walnut! Thanks for the inspiration Larry!

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...

A much smaller fluted piece. Only 24 flutes and only about 4 inch diameter. Surprisingly more difficult to carve than the larger pieces.
