wood - Maple Burl Tea Light with a walnut oil and wax finish

I strive to create pleasing, fictional, and sometimes surprising objects from wood, along with having fun in the process. Acquiring knowledge about the different kinds of wood and the skills needed to use wood turning tools is rewarding. I search for wood that engages one’s imagination upon viewing the turned results. The intriguing shapes of multi-axis items are especially gratifying to make and invite speculation on how they were crafted.
