Many of the woods I use are from trees that have been cut down due to disease or construction. This is wood that would otherwise be burned or end up in a landfill. To me, it is exciting to find the hidden beauty in a chunk of wood. Even a very plain piece of wood offers design opportunities. With plain woods, I often enhance the wood by carving or burning. My carved and burned designs mimic textures and patterns found in nature.

Each piece I turn has to have a balance between touch, shape, proportion, and any embellishments I decide to include. I turn a variety of items – both functional and artistic. I have recently started turning very thin (2mm) bowls and piercing a design into them with a high-speed dental drill.
