"Woodturning is my passion. The uniqueness
of each wood block guides me as the form
evolves and the inner beauty of the wood
begins to reveal itself. Each creation is an
inspiration from nature."

Decayed wood running through this piece of Big Leaf Maple produces an interesting effect. The goblet's shape, inspired by Roman Pottery, compliments the unique look.
Maple Burl is prized by "Bowl Turners" for its exquisite figuring. The intricate pattern of swirls and fantastic colors are stunning when finished with hand rubbed polyurethane.
The Walnut for this bowl came from a Michigan tree felled about 30 years ago. The rich luster of this hard wood is perfectly accented by the colorful and whimsical wooden fruit. (Banana hand carved from Yellow Heart wood.)
The figuring in burl is truly outstanding. The kaleidoscopic pattern of swirls in this piece made it the perfect choice for creating the delicate look of this potpourri bowl.
This whimsical Yellow Heart and Mahogany bowl is made from 17 pieces of wood combined in a checkerboard pattern and "topped off" with a Padauk lip.
Big Leaf Maple ranges in color from cream to dark brown. Utilizing a clear polyurethane finish over the natural wood accentuates the beauty of nature's colors.
