No Limit #10-07 No Limit is a small Elm woodturning measuring about
5 inches in diameter and 1 1/4 inches tall. It has a nice, simple shape
and excellent grain character. The underside is decorated with
pyrography. It is a whimsical design that just flowed out as I was
working on it. I really enjoy working with elm as it is a mostly
underappreciated species, maybe because it is so available. We often
tend to covet that which is difficult to obtain. However, if you’re
willing to consider what’s right beside you, you might find a pleasant
treasure such as this piece. When you look at the grain patterns in this
wood you can’t help but see the beauty of this “common” material. I hope
you enjoy it. $20 |

Vector Swarm #17-09 Vector Swarm is a small padauk woodturning
measuring about 3 ¾ inches in diameter and 3 inches tall. It has simple,
clean lines down to a small foot. The small curve down to the foot is
accented with hundreds of intersecting lines burnt in with a pyrography
tool. This will make a great accent piece to any décor. The padauk has a
deep orange tone that will age to an even deeper brown/orange in time. It
would make an excellent counterpoint to a light colored scene. I hope you
enjoy it. $30 |

Butterfly #10-09 I typically focus on segmented turnings, as my name would suggest. But often I’ll explore pieces like this one that uses the natural detail of a piece of wood without embellishment. I also like to improve my expertise in thin-walled vessels. That is particularly difficult with the interrupted cut of a natural edge piece. I hope you
enjoy this piece. It is elm with insect piercing and has a natural edge.
It measures just over 3 inches in diameter and about 3 inches tall. The
edge tapers from about 1/16 thick at the top to just over 1/8 inch near
the bottom. I was going to do hand piercing on it but after turning it I
decided that the insects had done a better job than I could. It also has
some spalting which adds to the natural beauty of this piece. One of the
photos shows this next to a cassette tape for scale. If you’ve been
looking for a small accent turning for your home I hope you’ll consider
adding this one to your collection. $35 |

Tiny Dancer #14-03 “Tiny Dancer” is made of Box Elder wood. It
is 4 7/8” in diameter and 2 ½” high. I turned the wall very thin on this
and it is light as a feather. Very delicate and precise, this piece of
wood has extreme character and depth. The mineral staining and subtle
curl is amazing and it has a very pleasing tactile feel to it. It will
make a very pleasing accent to any room. I’ve found that people are
drawn to it and are compelled to pick it up and hold it. $75 |

domestic woods in this piece, including ash, black walnut, black limba,
satinwood, goncalo alves, mahogany and purpleheart. The only thing it is
made to hold is your attention, but you can use it however you please. $140 |

no name given #94-5 Here is another one of my legacy pieces that I’ve decided to part with. This is one of my segmented pieces that measures about 5 inches in diameter and is 4 inches tall. There are many exotic and domestic woods in this piece, including hickory, black walnut, red oak, padauk, and yellowheart. This design is purely for visual enjoyment. I don’t think you’ll see another one quite like it, unless it’s another one of mine. $145 |

Testing #8-02 “Testing” is one of my first segmented pieces
with alternating segments of different size and design. The larger
segments are mahogany, while the smaller ones are laminated cocobolo and
oak. The thin strips are cherry and the top ring is oak. The base is
high-figure black walnut. It measures about 7 ½ inches at the top and
tapers to a foot of just under 2 inches and is 5 inches tall. $225 |

no name given #94-6 This is one of my segmented pieces that measures about 6 1/4 inches in diameter and is 4 3/4 inches tall. There are many exotic and domestic woods in this piece, including wenge, red oak, padauk, and spalted maple. In one of the photos you can look directly down the center of this and see the twisting effect of the main bowl segments. I had to make a special fixture to cut the segments in the lower section so that I could insert the thin strips of padauk before I glued them together. This design is purely for visual enjoyment. I don’t think you’ll see another one quite like it, unless it’s another one of mine. $175 |

Encore #28-11 Encore is a recent piece measuring about 7 inches diameter by 2 inches tall. It is made of red oak and turned as a shallow bowl with a unique edge treatment. After turning the rollover top lip I burned the design into the thin section and removed the areas you see. This makes the outer ring look to be floating around the outside of the bowl. I then went back and burned the cut edges to the result before you. I hope you enjoy it and want to give it a place in your home. $95 |
