Larry Barron - Bowls
Talking about his trials and tribulation with wood
turning, Larry Barron crafted a very unique bowl from a yet to be
identified chunk of wood. It has a natural edge finish – some bark
remains on the item. The
plate is a cutoff finished in Minwax Sedona Red and enhanced using a
detail burner. Both items
were finished with wipe-on polyurethane.

Mike Hardy - Stand in a Box

clever, Mike.

David Glasco - Project for City of Webster
For an art contest, for which he won Second Place,
David Glasco crafted this project of maple, purple heart, yellow heart,
walnut and some rosewood, representing the City of Webster, Texas,
mostly on a CNC machine.
David’s design is based on City of Webster man hole covers – you didn’t
know man hole covers could look so good, did you?

stapler.

pattern, Rick Spacek scroll sawed these juggling hands then finished

Bob Wink - Whimsical Folk ArtBob Wink debuted
more whimsical characters, the zydeco squeeze box musician, the lady
