Susan's stitching on Larry's casket

Larry custom made this casket to fit this design. Susan did exquisite stitching!

Items for Classes I teach

I teach classes for wood lathe bowl and vessel turning. I'm making samples for the students to decide what they would like to create.

This is the outside view of the same bowl.

This piece is another of the tall vessel's. This time I inset pieces of a darker wood as decorative accent.

I wonder what will be the most popular items for classes this year!

More lathe turning

Another open vessel I just made.

Latest wood turning

This is my newest creation. Each piece is cut, then rings are glued. Rings are then glued to layer the rings. Finally it's turned out on the wood lathe. Sandy put tall fall flowers in this.

Candle Holder

I cut all the little blocks out of maple and black walnut, then I glued them and turned this on the lathe. It's designed for use with a glass votive candle holder. The glow will shine through all the holes.

New additions

This spoon is made from wavy ash - notice the wonderful pattern it has formed.

These are toddler feeding spoons that I've been 'playing' around with.

A candy dish?

This is just a cute little candy dish (or whatever) that I hand carved.

Calling all cat lovers

I've done this in both light and dark woods. Hand carved.

Purely decorative spoon

This would be good either framed or just hung on a wall.

My latest 'creation'

I cut blocks of maple and purpleheart wood and glued them all together. Then I turned the bowl out on the lathe.
I added thin stripes of the purpleheart wood on the bottom for a more decorative look.

New Trinket Box Finish

This piece was stitched on white using HDF silks by another lady. Sandy got it all ready to frame and then I made the box for it to go into. The color paint is a perfect match to the silk used as the main color.

Heart Spoon

This has been very popular with the ladies Larry is teaching to carve.

A small bowl

This was turned on the lathe from a log that our son in law cut down on their lot.

Some New additions

This spoon has 104 total holes in it of various sizes. It took a lot of work for Larry to hand carve this one but it's pretty awesome.

Larry hand carved this spoon using a wonderful wood called Ambrosia Maple. The color and graining are very special.

This candle holder contains a glass enclosed votive candle. When it's lit and dark, the glow comes out all over the holder. Each piece of wood was individually cut and assembled before it was turned on the wood lathe.
