This Sun Footed Bowl is made out of maple and walnut. It is 12" in diameter and 6" tall
with 164 individual pieces. With the foot being solid it has a little heft to it.

I started woodworking in 2009 when I bought a small table saw and my husband bought me a plunge router for my birthday. With these tools, among many wood projects, I made a large dollhouse for the young daughter of a friend of mine.

Segmented turnings in progress.

The woodturning bug bit me when my older brother, Mike, gifted me a 1980's Shopsmith that ran perfectly. I was hooked! My preference and specialty is segmented turning. I am very content with the time, the precision, and the patience that segmented woodturning requires.

My woodshop is our two stall attached garage. When I go out to my shop, I move our truck out of the garage and onto the driveway so I can have 24 square feet of woodworking bliss. All of my machines are bolted down to reclaimed cabinets on wheels. I invested in a small midi lathe which I do most of my turning on, although sometimes I do receive requests for bowls that require my larger Shopsmith. For any aspiring woodturners with a limited amount of space, I would say put your machines on cabinets with wheels for easy mobility.

I made the large segmented vase from cedar for my daughter, Sara.
It has 456 segments and I turned it on my large Shopsmith lathe.
|
I am a perfectionist and am very dedicated in giving my best to my customers. Below are a variety of my turnings.

The lamp is made out of Maple, Walnut, and Padauk. I made it for a friend
of mine for her 65th birthday
