Artist's Note
"This vessel is one of a small limited edition that I made in May 2015 for the television show Rough Cut Woodworking with Tommy Mac series airing on PBS."
Artist Statement
"My work expresses a sense of time and mystery. My inspiration is derived from a fusion of styles including ancient Egyptian, African, Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Asian. But essential to all my designs is the attention I dedicate to fine details. I like to combine exotic woods with gilding and chemical patination to create unique, one of a kind woodturnings and sculptures. The patina finish that is a trademark of my work is a hybrid I’ve developed since the late 1980’s. It combines painting, gilding (metal leafing), chemical patinas, and lacquering techniques. The complex layers result in a surface that imparts feelings of depth, ancient time, and a sense of mysterious beauty. I use the lathe in combination with my fully equipped woodworking studio to create my pieces. Some of the qualities that I strive for are excellence in design as well as excellence in execution of technique, while challenging myself to create something that generates a sense of fascination in the viewer."

It combines painting, gilding (metal leafing), chemical patinas, and lacquering techniques. The complex layers result in a finish that may look ancient, metallic, or even stone like of an ancient, petrified stone quality.
He has won numerous awards for his woodworking and woodturning, and his work has appeared in many publications.
