Hollow form - cherry burl

All of my current and most recent work is on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Infinite.Thread I live and work in suburban Detroit, Michigan, USA. I have an obsession with drawing, painting, and burning celtic-style art, first as doodles, then with Gel pens (on the hands and faces of myself, my son, my nieces and nephews), then on the computer, then painted on walls, then on wood. I have always enjoyed fine wood art, especially carved, sculpted, and turned pieces. I have painted, carved, burned (pyrography), and otherwise decorated my pieces - in addition to wood turning. I purchased my first lathe in June of 2003 to begin learning the skill and art of wood turning on the lathe. Mostly, I have been making lots and lots of chips and sawdust. Some of the things I have made on the lathe include goblets, pens and pencils, bowls, vases, platters/plates, Native American style flutes, magic wands, and much more. Many of the things I create are custom requested or commissioned. I am delighted with the evolution and progress of my work.
