Piece #547 – Spalted Hickory – 5″ by 6.5″ – SOLD
Red Dragon Fire #535
Piece #535 – Camphor & Calcite – 6″ by 10″ – $800
Red Dragon Fire is finally completed. I have been working on this piece off and on for over two years. It started out as a simple vase. However, it never seemed to want to be a simple vase. Sooooo, I put an inlaid Eastern Dragon on the simple vase. Not satisfied. Sooo, the flames were carved and air brushed onto the top. Still not satisfied. Ahhhhhh, the final touch – The base; a separate piece, carved then air brushed, then gold leaf applied. Now – Red DragonFire #535 is satisfied. Almost —- He is looking for a home.

Autumn Leaves Piece 423
Piece #423 – Ambrosia Maple – 5.5″ by 5″ – SOLD
In October of last year I attended a Master’s workshop at Arrowmont Art School in Gatlinburg, TN. The master was Binh Poh. The workshop was thin wall turning with embellishment using pyrography, piercing, texturing and air brushing. The air brushing and wood burning (pyrography) was new for me. This vase is my first attempt at using an air brush. I have a lot to learn yet. you can see the 360 view at YouTube http://youtu.be/u1F0cCTBv9o

Invisible Forces #269
Piece #269 – Dogwood ??? Root Ball – 8″ dia x 6.5″ – NFS
I dug this root ball up out of my back yard. I put it on the lathe green and turned it to the pot shape that you see. When I thought it was complete it had no checks, holes or inclusions. It was just a solid, ugly, hollow pot. Over the next few weeks it had transformed itself into the piece that you see. The two root tendrils that were fused and made up the front shrank and came apart from each other and the pot leaving the odd shaped opening in the front. Many checks developed over the entire piece and along the rim. At first glance I almost pitched it in the cutoff bin. But, being one who can’t throw any piece away I kept it on my “To be fixed shelf.” About a year later I spotted it out of the corner of my eye and picked it up. I said to myself, “Maybe I should look at this with a different eye.” So I sat down and studied it for about 5 minuets. It then revealed itself to me for what it really was. I sanded, oiled and polished the piece. I have been its ardent fan every since.
