|
  | Plum bowl
with bamboo accents | 6.5 x 2 | Plum is a pretty wood with rich colors, but is very prone to warping, which is what happened to this bowl. I should have chucked it in the woodstove, but didn't have one, so it hung around until I got the idea of using bamboo to salvage it. I fit a bamboo ring to the base so it would sit flat, and added the bamboo twig to distract the eye from the warping. It kindof works! | donated |

with gold inlay | 17 x 7 | Well, not really gold. Several small defects and cracks were filled with brass for a striking contrast with the beautiful colors of the spalted wood; and it does seem to catch the light like gold.
This is a very large bowl which would be suitable for entertaining.
It is from the same tree as another bowl, from which I removed 20 embedded nails while turning. Happily, this piece had only two. | given as gift |

with turquoise | 13 x 5 | This bowl came from a large maple tree that my neighbor took down, despite my wishes; it turned a spectacular yellow in autumn. He was, however, nice enought to offer me some of the wood. This piece has very nice ripple and birdseye patterns in the grain. A knot-hole in the bottom (which caused lots of problems!) was filled with turquoise for dramatic effect. | given as gift |
|
  | Yew bowl
| 6 x 2 | A simple small bowl in a wood that speaks for itself. | given as gift |
|
  | Honey Locust hollow form
with azurite | 3 x 5.5 | Well, this was originally intended to be a winged box, but I shattered the wing (several times - it kept getting smaller), and so resorted to damage control.

  | Cherry bowl
| 13 x 3 | A simple, elegant bowl with beautiful grain patterns. | given as gift |
|
  | Cherry bowl
with bark inclusion | 13.5 x 4.5 | This piece of cherry has beautiful grain. The character of the bowl is enhanced by a bark inclusion. The bowl is heavier than typical, to avoid a hole where the bark inclusion lies. This bowl has warped considerably since turning, and could not be corrected without making the lip around the rim uneven; I guess we'll have to call it a 'feature' of the natural material. | given as gift |
|
  | Cherry bowl
| 13 x 4 | A large salad or fruit bowl with pretty colors and a shiny finish | given as gift |
|
  | Sequoia bowl
| 10 x 3 | This was cored out of the 16" bowl, giving it the vase shape. The colors of the wood are very pretty, accented by a glossy finish on the outside. | given as gift |

  | Cedar bowl
with malachite | 12 x 2.5 | A final bowl turned from my friend's tree. With this one, I was trying a new tool grind, and a different shape, and I managed to turn right through the bottom.

|
 | Black Locust bowl

|
 | Birch bowl
with azurite ring | 6 x 2.5 | This bowl has subtle but beautiful grain. It has gone noticably oval. Thinking it overly plain, I enhanced it with a ring of blue azurite in the bottom. | sold | $30 |
|
 | Plum Natural-edge bowl
| 6 x 3 | Plum is one of the most beautiful woods, with rich colors. However, it is difficult to turn, as internal stresses often cause it to self-destruct as it dries. This one came out very nice; one small crack was filled with deep blue azurite. | sold | $45 |
|
  | Plum bowl
| 6 x 2 | Another piece of plum with beautiful colors. This one actually did self-destruct as it dried. It was such a pretty piece that I salvaged it and glued up the cracks, which are now hard to see. I left a piece of the bark on the underside, which polishes up very beautifully. The top edge is irregular. | sold | $45 |

|
 | Cherry Burl bowl
with malachite | 6 x 3 | This bowl has the beautiful, irregular grain of a burl. It was originally much larger, as it had numerous voids which I was trying to turn away. Eventually, I gave up and filled the voids with green malachite, which created a very striking bowl. | sold | $50 |
|
 | Cherry bowl
with calcite | 11 x 3 | This bowl has beautiful colors! There were some cracks in the wood, but it was too beautiful to waste, so I filled them with calcite, to nice effect. This bowl has gone somewhat oval. | sold | $50 |

|
 | Plum Natural-edge bowl
| 6 x 2.5 | This bowl has nice contrast between the dark bark, the creamy sapwood and the tans, browns, and reds of the heartwood.

|
 | Yew Natural-edge bowl
| 7 x 2 | A handsome bowl in my favorite wood. I turned it with a natural edge to preserve the creamy sapwood, making a nice contrast to the warm tan of the heartwood. | sold | $45 |
|
 | Cherry hollow form
with dark finial | 3.5 x 5 | My first attempt at a hollow form - to my surprise, it came out very nice, and I didn't break through the side!. The cherry turned out to have very pretty grain. | sold | $40 |
|
  | Chestnut Natural-edge bowl
| 13 x 7 | This bowl provoked a lot of admiration; the rather plain grain is counteracted by the natural edge, pleasing tumblehome shape, and glossy finish. It also has a small blemish which adds interest, and is filled with malachite on the inside. | sold | $100 |

  | Sequoia bowl
| 12 x 5 | A large bowl with beautiful colors! I initially resisted turning this wood because it is soft and requires a lot of sanding, but I think it was worth it. | sold | $75 |
