Signature Process

Each sculpture begins with a carefully selected log, mounted on the lathe and shaped with precision using a traditional chisel.

Unlike conventional bowl turning—where both the interior and exterior are fully completed on the lathe—I intentionally stop short of finishing the inside. From that point, I move to hand-sculpting using a series of custom tools and a technique that I’ve developed over the past 25 years.

This hybrid approach allows me to achieve a perfectly round exterior while introducing a subtly oval interior — a delicate contrast that gives each piece its sculptural tension and individuality.

The result is a form that moves beyond functional woodturning into a distinctly expressive art piece.

Depending on the scale and complexity, each work takes between three and six weeks to complete.
