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 inside view of a pieced bowl

This is the outside view of the same bowl.
The inside view of another bowl but in a totally different shape.

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!

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.

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.

A small bowl

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

Lazy Susan

My sister in law asked if I could make her a lazy susan for the middle of her table. I played around with various types of wood, putting them all together and this is what I came up with.
The bottom turning mechanism isn't attached yet when this picture was taken.
