2006 Northern Woods Exhibition Awards |
| |
In 2005, the board of the Minnesota
Woodworker's Guild approached me to redesign the awards
for the annual Northern Woods Exhibition. I agreed and, after
some weeks of doing sketches and models, presented my proposed
design. It was accepted and I was commissioned to produce fifteen.
Materials are maple, various veneers, and brass. 7" x 5"
x 5". |

Sally Triple |
| |
The Sally Triple was a concept to expand the capacity of "Sally's
Wine Rack" (see below) while minimizing handwork. I was
very satisfied with the results and executed two versions, in
mahogany and maple. The metal components are nickel-plated aluminum
and stainless steel. $1200. |

Coreolis |
| |
This hollow vessel came to be when a friend gave me a piece
of ancient Kauri from New Zealand. The wood is harvested from
peat bogs where it has been preserved for 50,000 years. The
design and title were inspired by watching water run down
a drain. The other materials are ebony, maple, and nickel-plated
brass. $1400.
Coreolis took the "Best Turning" award at the 2005
Northern Woods Exhibition. |

Wine Rack (see above). It is built in laminated maple, turned
and nickel-plated aluminum and stainless steel. The finish
