Fine Craft Shows at Chautauqua July 12–14 & August 9–11, 2024
While turning my platter forms, I find particular satisfaction in the beautiful grain patterns revealed by the subtractive process of removal. In preparation for the use of the lathe, I select, and glue together carefully chosen pieces of local hardwoods that I suspect will be particularly interesting. Hunting for exceptional pieces of wood and then discovering the beauty within the wood is my goal. Finished pieces can be used as serving trays or displayed as simple objects of beauty.
