Lady of the Lathe

2 of a 3 piece set, just waiting until I can find the adjoining piece in the corded wood stack

Latest creation; Bitternut Hickory floating bowl, and yes, the tree is acually square.

More ideas than time to execute them, and I just received the gift of a beautifuly figure tree trunk. The two sample turnings I made are keepers, so I will be busy for the next little while. Will be updating the facebook photo album in the near future, and the website build is still ongoing. Hoping to survive the Christmas season and start the new year by finally launching Theladyofthelathe.ca

I will be exhibiting a collection of pieces created over the last several years... Looking forward to seeing you

The real Starbucks drink we are waiting for!

I have been happily busy creating new pieces. Plans are progressing, slow but sure. Will start portfolio photos in the very near future. The website is under construction and should be available soon, it has been a long wait...

My first artistic form, learned a lot since then.

Christmas offers a chance to practice many skills Hawthorn and African blackwood, playing with high contrast

Still a favourite. Bitternut hollow form, created in three segments.

Beautiful, complex woodgrain found in a piece of maple rescued from the fire pile. She refused to split and the first chainsaw pass revealed her true destiny.
