Inlaid Work

These vessels were turned using various species  of woods, their surfaces are then carved away leaving a recess for many smaller pieces of wood to be inlaid in their surfaces. The process is often very time consuming, but the end results can be quite beautiful.

Pierced Bowls

These bowl shapes have been pierced through their surfaces allowing light and shadows to become part of the artwork. The geometric piercings are meant to enhance the natural beauty of the wood.  

Turned bowls with acrylic enhancements

Experiments with surface treatments - these wood bowls have been covered with acrylic paints and lacquers,  then clear coated to create a rich colorful surface.
