Cedar Burl Wildlife Mount
Here is my latest. Bear skull mounted on Cedar Candlewax Burl. It doesn’t take a huge piece of wood to make an artistic statement, only the right piece. Who might have a trophy of their own? http://www.highcountryturner.com/portfolio/portfolio-page/#89
CED18-399
Just a fun little multi-wood end table. I made this for a friend at church who’s husband had turned the base from a piece of Cedar, but had passed away before he could complete his project, I took his finished stand, paired it with a Russian Olive base and a natural edge piece of Cherry […]
Oak & Box Elder
Even though these were some Christmas gifts, thought it was finally time to show them off. Made these for the kids this a few months back. One handle is Scrub Oak, the other is Cedar. Both have just a little turquoise to make them special. The Pizza Cutter and Ice Cream Scoops are just kits […]
Different wood … same process
Have always said that only a woodworker would have a $100 fire in the wood stove. Went through the same “is this worth my time” decision process on this piece of wood as I pulled it out of the firewood stack. This is a piece of Box Elder with some black line spalting and a […]
Tamarisk Burl … something really unique
Just may be one of the most unique pieces of wood I’ve ever gotten my hands on. Tamarisk Burl from the Grand Valley of Colorado. Buddy who gave me the first piece said he’ll show me where to get more. We’ll see if he holds to his word. If so, there will be more of […]
You don’t see that everyday …
I’ve got a couple of new pieces (alright, 3) going up on the site tonight. Several months back, I set a goal for myself and over the next week, I’ll see how well that works out. I’ve got two separate pieces going to two separate County Fair’s this next week. My “First Light” table will […]
Staying busy …
Just a few of the latest batch of production I’ve since delivered to the Ago Gallery in Ouray, CO. Latest offerings were heavy on Burl. I now have a couple of tables and a bar top to complete before I can turn the lathe back on again. It’s a tough life, but someone has to […]
Something I’ve never seen before …
I really like it when a new friend gives me a unique piece of wood AND offers to show me where I can get more. This is a piece of Tamerisk Burl. I’ve never seen burl on these trees & typically, they don’t get big enough to turn. This one is border-line (especially at the […]
Who has the vision …
Alright, let’s see who has the vision. And yes, those will be trees in the foreground … that doesn’t count. Any idea of what might be behind the mess? Tree’s end to end are about 24″ and nearly 20″ tall. This is the center of a 7’+ bar top that I’m making for a client. […]
