A simple container can hold the most valuable items. The form is important, as it must be of such shape and size to hold something so vital that we would not want to leave it out in the open. These three jars, interconnected by a continuous design are meant to conceal different but similar items. The contents will be private, meant only for the owner to see.

Michael, from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, has exhibited in several US shows, including Challenge V: International Lathe Turned Objects Show, the National Speleological Society's Fine Art Salon and has a piece in the permanent collection of the Woodturning Center (now the Museum for Art in Wood) in Philadelphia. He turned an ornament for the Clinton White House during the Year of the Craft. Michael has won awards in many art shows and craft shows locally and nationally, including several Best of Show awards. He has also judged many wood carving shows and has written for the American Woodturner, the journal of the American Association of Woodturners and Woodcraft Magazine. Active in both local and national turning and carving clubs, he also demonstrates and teaches both woodcarving and woodturning in his studio. Michael has been turning and carving since 1980, and has studied anatomy sculpture under Eugene Daubs through the Tyler School of Art.
