Shallow 6” Norfolk Island pine bowl with opal and mother-of-pearl inlay in the pith. This was an offcut from a larger piece that would have been firewood. Happy that I salvaged it!

Here’s the finished oak blossom bowl. Hand-carved. This was a lot of fun and I’ll be doing more of these. For sale! DM or see it in person first at the Boca Raton Fine Art Show this weekend, just south of Mizner Park. 🤙

A trick I learned from pro turner Lee Sky. If you HAVE to take an unfinished piece off the chuck, mark where the first set of jaws goes. This will minimize wobble when re-turning it. 👍 Have you tried this?

LOVE this wood. No idea what it is, except it’s tropical. Pulled it from my random pile. Smells like cloves/allspice when turned. Very oily. Leaves a stunning finish right off the chisel and the heartwood/sapwood contrast is gorgeous. Here it is as a humble ring holder. 🙏👍 . . UPDATE: 99% sure it’s #lignumvitae

My first dreidel after lots of requests at my art shows.

Norfolk island pine, work in progress. Voids filled with resin and blue mica, plus some opal featured on the rim. Final sanding is up next (the bowl is wet here to raise the grain), then I’ll add my food safe oil and wax blend. This bowl is 13” x 5.5”. It’s for sale, DM if interested.
