Event Description
I make lathe-turned, blind-hollowed vessels. As most of my wood is salvage, work begins with a log and a chainsaw. I favor full-bodied, parabolic curves, a small base, and a respect for the grain that suggests the log beneath. Hold a piece sideways, rock it, the change in angle should catch your breath. Vessel walls are uniformly thin for lightness and balance, and the hole at the top is finger-tip small. The tung oil or beeswax finish preserves the wood's natural look and invites touch.
