This is a sampling of the bowls I've turned in the past few years. I love the mindless (to a point) process.....the shavings piling up on the lathe bed....the fragrant odor of the wood.....seeing something emerge from an ungainly block of rapidly spinning wood. It has become addictive.
Most of these bowls are turned from Pacific Yew, some from Alder..and the larger bowls stacked are black walnut. Oh..and one mesquite piece. I find as people become aware that I make bowls, wood magically appears from all over.
Now....I wish winter would vanish..and I could spend my early mornings turning wood again. The lathe awaits most patiently.....with a half-finished bowl in place.
