Our wooden bowls are hand-turned on a 100 year
old
lathe--(respectifully called MR. Tyler thats the name
of
the gentleman I bought it from )one at a time.They are
then
allowed to dry so each
one takes on its own individual shape and no two bowls
will
be exactly a like. Bowls are made of red oak, maple,
cherry, or ash then sealed with bees wax and mineral
oil
making them food safe and easy to care for. (Just clean
with warm soap and water, dry and apply a coat of
vegitable
oil).
I on the other hand, simply turn for the love of the
creative process.
I'm addicted to discovery , progress,and the fact that
while
perfection is forever my goal,yesterdays challenges
often
become the basic skills of tomorrow. One of the many
challenges I do have is getting the logs to turn bowls.
You see, I have to depend on mother nature to clean
house
that way I'm not killing the trees.(I'm just helping
clean the mess)
On the following pages you'll see pictures of my
shop, ( my wife calls it my Cave ) how a bowl is made,
and samples of some of my work.
All the bowls shown can be made of ash,oak,maple,or
just
about any wood you would like depending on the
availability
of the wood and size of the bowl the cost could be
higher
or lower.
Just let me know your price range
So sit back,enjoy, and come back often!!
