Handcrafted bowls, Sushi Sets, and Wine Bottle Stoppers. Thats been my life for the weekend so far. I’ve spent maybe 10-12 hours hunched over my lathe and I need break! Today, my woodturning is going to serve as Art Post of the Day #6 as well as an update to what I’ve been up to.

Handcrafted Bowls from Figured English Walnut

I’ve taken these bowls right from tree to finished product. I love having this kind of control over the processing of the wood right from the tree. I am able to select the grain direction and blend different grain patterns. You will see here in the Natural Edge Bowl that the grain runs in two different directions causing a quilted look.

New Style of Sushi Dish Sets

—————————————————————————————————–

The new style sushi dished have a stripe of red/orange Paddauk in the center or slightly off center. This Paddauk will change color a bit with age getting deeper and richer in it’s patina. More recently uploaded photos can be seen on my flickr photo album.
Thank you for checking out my work and any comments would be lovely.
