Special Project

Earlier this year, after tornadoes swept through Tennessee, the pastor of our son's church was part of a disaster relief team. After being given part of a fallen cedar tree, he asked me to turn it into a portable communion table.


After preparing the piece, I visited Bill Covington who used his laser engraving system to add this scene on the front and the text below on the back.

The communion table stands 8" tall, is 2" thick, measures 14" wide, and has an oil-based finish.

Introducing ... Many Eyes

Many Eyes is a stabile made of birds eye maple.

The base started as a laminated block that was turned to a deep bowl. The layers of the bowl were then seperated.

After additional carving and texturing the interior and base were embellished with my unique pyrographic three-line design.

24" wide x 18" high.

Folk School Cherry

During my last visit to the John C. Campbell Folk School, I found a non-descript piece of cherry burl in the pile of trash wood. I turned this hollow vessel during my class with Kim Blatt.

This is my first spiral finial and I'm very happy with the result.

Height (including finial) 9-3/4"

Diameter 6-1/2"
