andknow how these might be made?Derek


The upper bowls are pretty forward segmented turning construction. The inlay portions are done (probably) with an inlay router set, cutting matching openings and fillers with a matched set of templates. A second way is using a scroll saw, cutting contrasting stacked material to get the matching inlays.

According to the artist, she doesn't use a lathe (see About the Artist) on the website. (see below). However she does it, it's beautiful work!

Wood Stuff was created in 1993. I began playing around with power tools in my garage, making small boxes, etc. Then I decided to try a bowl. Since I didn't have a lathe, I had to improvise with a bandsaw. It took nearly a year to perfect my method and since then I have been improving and expanding my designs. I use basic geometry (Thank you Mr. Garner-Thomasville High School) and each bowl is created from scratch without forms, jigs or patterns.
