Morocco Blue. This might be the cleanest one I’ve done so far. Really pleased the wood has some cool grain as well. Really provides a nice depth of glow. It’s headed to Texas for a private collection. Maple with texture and color. 11” diameter by 2 3/4” tall. #wood #woodturner #woodturning #lathe #bowl #bowlmaker #bowlturner #makersgonnamake #latheart #maple #art #artpiece #artwork #custom #order #morocco #blue #moroccoblue #stl #stlouis #thewalnutlogstudio #chestnutproducts #hampshiresheen (at The Walnut Log Studio And Supply) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6RI3Omg0Ll/?igshid=njucyv8yo9d5

Been asked to create a color collection based on my Southwest Vibe piece. First colorway, trying out some new product with this as well. Pleased so far! Maple with texture and color, 7.5 inches diameter. #wood #woodturner #woodturning #lathe #latheart #bowl #bowlturner #bowlturning #color #red #southwestvibe #colorway #maple #collection #newcollection #studiotime #studiowork #gallery #gallerypiece #stl #stlouis #thewalnutlogstudio (at The Walnut Log Studio And Supply) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5sjdK_gYUB/?igshid=18dkrpwwh2xkv

Orbital View. Maple, 9 1/4 inches diameter by 2 inches tall. Working with some new (to me) products and exploring another artistic process. I’ve been doing a lot of travel lately, most recent being the flight home from Thanksgiving with my in-laws in New Mexico. The view from the airplane was my inspiration on this. There was enough sunlight to really make the colors pop. Purposely left tool marks inside the bowl for texture. #wood #woodturner #woodturning #lathe #latheart #paint #painter #stain #dye #view #earth #watershed #flying #planeride #25000feet #impression #stl #stlouis #art #artist #artwork #gallery #thewalnutlogstudio https://www.instagram.com/p/B5vReuGAr9j/?igshid=ey2lvf6hne7d

Actual time in my own shop. Really needed this and think I’m staying here until Monday. My space, attitude music and production. Been on the road a lot and now dealing with some odd and stressful situations. Have to get my head right again. Back to basics of form, function and figure. #wood #woodturner #woodturning #lathe #bowl #bowlturner #bowlturning #latheart #gallerywork #shoptime #workingoutfrustration #color #texture #blue #stl #stlouis #thewalnutlogstudio (at The Walnut Log Studio And Supply) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4lNyiSA8RN/?igshid=gvedjsl0a6wj

Having the ability to share what I know has become so very important to me. An amazing number of people...friends, mentors, teachers and students...have all shared with me. I love being in a position where I can share with you. Clip from my second demo at SOFA Chicago 2019 this weekend. Fantastic opportunity, really hope they will have me back again!! #SOFA2019 #sofaexpo2019 #demo #demonstrator #wood #woodturning #woodturner #bowl #bowlmaker #bowlturner #bowlturning #lathe #arttalk #artist #art #artwork #latheart #sharewhatyouknow #teach #chicago https://www.instagram.com/p/B4c-d8vgn2R/?igshid=1m6rv9qwxgjty

Headed to Chicago this weekend for SOFA 2019! I’ll be doing 2 demo rotations, one Saturday and one Sunday. Not just turning but giving an artist talk as well about my experience so far during my @craftalliance artist residency. Took some time to make a sample piece today. Been teaching this technique a lot lately and need to make sure my own work is on point. #wood #woodturner #woodturning #lathe #latheart #bowl #bowlmaker #bowlturner #bowlturning #art #artist #artistresidency #artistinresidence #morocco #blue #moroccoblue #stl #stlouis https://www.instagram.com/p/B4RSKtsgvRt/?igshid=17r0npiayigi5

Strata. I’ve always been fascinated by the geology of road cuts. Seeing much more highway with all the travel I’ve been doing lately and it dawned on my the strata layers really do resemble wood grain. Exploring figure and texture with this one. Another experiment during my artist residency at @craftalliance. Square bowl carved with @rotarychisel and dry brushed. Poplar, 7.5 inches by 7.5 inches by 1.5 inches. #wood #woodturner #woodturning #lathe #latheart #art #artist #artwork #artistresidency #craftalliance #color #texture #strata #geology #roadcut #bowl #bowlmaker #bowlturner #bowlturning #grain #woodgrain #study #makersgonnamake #stl #stlouis https://www.instagram.com/p/B3AG7fUgVXS/?igshid=fr1p67ia6flm

Squigglefish. Had the opportunity to spend two days in class with Michael Hosaluk last week. This class was hosted by @dovetailwoodarts and came at exactly the right time in my woodturning developement. Michael is an amazing turner and mind blowing artist and the class was full of other fantastic talent too! Think I’m going to play with this process for a while, lots to experiment with!! Basswood hollowform. One piece, tentacles are part of the body. 5 inches lips to tentacle tips. Brass acrylic paint over texture with glitter. #wood #woodturner #woodturning #lathe #hollowform #fish #squiggle #lips #lipstick #turned #carved #brass #paint #acrylic #jellyfish #whimsy #artist #latheart #makersgonnamake #stl #stlouis https://www.instagram.com/p/B3YR1VjAv34/?igshid=9meb4p7573z9
