🌳 Just finished turning this walnut dish/platter. For now, it’s set aside to dry — and honestly, the next step is out of my hands.

I’m hoping it warps into a beautifully organic shape. But if it cracks, I may turn that “flaw” into a feature with an inlay — maybe turquoise or another stone to give it a new kind of beauty.

That’s what I love about this craft: every piece has its own story, and you never quite know how it will end. 🌿✨

👉 Stay tuned — I’ll share what happens as this one reveals its future.

🎶 Every piece of wood carries a song.
My first flute came from pine.
The next waits in the body of an old piano.

🌲 New in the Studio: Wabi Sabi Redwood Bowl 🌲

This one-of-a-kind hand-turned redwood bowl is now available.

Its story: once a redwood tree growing in a man’s yard, it had to be removed when it encroached on his utilities. A longtime friend of my neighbor brought me three large chunks of that wood, and the insects had already shaped their part of the story before it reached my hands.

Now, turned on my lathe, it carries all those layers — tree, insect, friend, neighbor, and maker. In the spirit of wabi sabi, it honors the beauty of imperfection and the grace of change.

✨ 10” wide × 3.5” tall
✨ Redwood, natural insect markings
✨ $95

If this piece speaks to you, it’s available now through my shop:
