Natural Edge Bowl

This natural edge bowl is made of white oak and is finished with an amber shellac, which gives the bowl an orange glow.  In addition it features a wooden half ring, cut from the same tree.  My intention for the ring was to " frame " the bowl, much like an artist would frame a painting.  To my knowledge, this is a new technique, and I believe that it adds an aura of importance to the bowl.

The Broken Deer Horn Pen

This was quite a project.  I started with a piece of deer horn, which I drilled and turned round on my lathe.  I then just about destroyed it altogether by breaking it into pieces with a sharp chisel and a hammer.  Several of these pieces were then thrown away, and I filled in the gaps with lapis lazuli and sterling silver.  The trim on the pen is plated with platinum.  The writing tip is ceramic, making it a pleasure to sign your name with. 

This one was difficult to give up, but it is now sold and part of a private collection.
