A Backyard Collection

A Backyard Collection

Hello and welcome to my website. The following pages showcase a variety of the pieces I have turned, including some that are currently for sale. A majority of the work shown here came from the back (or front) yards of various folks ranging from Michigan to Mississippi, Tennessee, and beyond. These logs which were once destined for the fireplace, or the landfill, have instead been turned into beautiful pieces of art, both functional and decorative. Wood has been used throughout the centuries to enrich our lives from building material to food service to art. The trees represented here include (but are not limited to) Red Oak, Pin Oak, Eastern Red Cedar, Mimosa, Magnolia, Pecan, Bradford Pear, and Black Walnut. The majority of these bowls were turned while the wood was still green, preserving the natural bark, giving each bowl a unique look very pleasing to the eye. Thank you for visiting my site and I hope you enjoy looking around!

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 (kjv)
