Hi my name's Jay, and I'm a wood hoarder... I've had this piece of Cocobolo for over 14 years... Surely I can't be alone, can I?

My latest request was for a friend mine, for his dog. This was hard for him because he had a stroke years back and it was the dog that alerted his daughter to call 911 - probably saved him...They requested something light as the dog was white... I wanted to get it as close to white as I could. I found a nice light chunk of maple I had on a shelf in the depths of the shop. I recalled years ago buying some wood bleach, so I got it out and off I went. Came back a day later and ...to my surprise was an almost white urn....I thought I'm in. Finished the lid and bleached it... Lacquer finish and a little laser action to top off it off... Happy with the outcome as is my friend and his family. He gets all the credit for the beautiful pictures, its a free service I take advantage of.... Photo credits: Mone Cheng

Urn. Maple Burl - stained Black. (I'm back...More to come)

Having not turned in a little while, I've been playing with casting....so far, a couple pine cones in two different resins.... hopefully get a chance to make them into something soon....

It's nice working with other mediums sometimes, just to see how it turns out....the (obvious) coloring pencil pen...

Thanks everyone for your support... as this is all new, there will be even more content coming very soon!
