The source of this hollow form originally stood in the yard of a friend’s mother-in-law and his daughters grew up playing on it. After he cut it down, he requested that I create two special pieces for his children.

My mother-in-law died earlier this year, and I wanted to make a piece in her memory that is as special as she was to us. It's small without being dainty, and made from the exotic Black Limba wood.

My father died earlier this year, and I made this bowl in his memory. It's made of oak, which is a common tree, but also a sturdy one. My father wasn't a polished man, but he was a strong one and I wanted to show that in his bowl. As this piece...

This bowl was made in honor of my mom who died in 2012. It's made of Honduran Mahagony wood because she liked nice things and this is a beautiful, exotic wood.

I gave this vase to my sister-in-law several years ago as a Christmas gift.

This bowl was a Christmas gift to my oldest son and his wife.

This is the first bowl I ever made. I gave it to my lovely wife and she's used it as a jewelry bowl ever since.
