Spalted Apple Box

Spalted Apple lidded box

This turning is from Spalted Apple and is a lidded box. It is about 3 inches in diameter. Several times in the summer I demo and sometimes I turn these kind of boxes. People like to watch me turn things and many times ask how long before I will finish the piece I'm turning. So I have learned how to finish most small demo pieces on the lathe. I tell people that are interested that the piece will be finished in 1/2 hour and they come back and buy the piece when it is finished. Sold.

Maple Hollow/Celtic Ribbon


Curly Maple Hollow Form/Celtic Ribbon
Top View

 

This turning is about 8 inches in diameter and is Curly Maple. The Celtic ribbon surrounds the center and the wall thickness is about 1/4 inch. I will be doing many Hollow forms like this along with bowl and platters incorporating Celtic ribbons to be displayed and sold in various galleries. Sold.

Maple Sphere/Celtic Ribbon

Sphere/Celtic Ribbon

This is a Maple sphere with a wood burned Celtic ribbon that ends at a point at opposite sides of the sphere. By ending the bibbon at these points it creates a flower effect on each end. The dark areas a scumbled. Scumbling is burning dimples into the wood creating a ruff texture that enhances the rest of the wood. Sold.

Maple Sphere/Triangles

Maple Sphere/Triangles

This is a Maple sphere covered with triangles. The design was an adaptation from a quilting design. I found that a triangle could cover a sphere completely without leaving any spaces. I will be doing more of this type of design on spheres and bowls and posting them. Coming up with unique designs takes a few practice pieces each time. Spheres are fun to turn and adding artistic designs make them come alive. $70
