These pieces were done from Elm, Ash . I was using dyes and laminating wax to show grain.
These vessels were done from different wood: walnut, pear, cherry, maple. All vessels were woodturned, carved, decorated with reeds done by router.
These pieces were extensively carved.
Above pieces were done from cherry. I was trying to follow grain lines with carving and wood burning then was texturing selected areas. On some pieces I applied gilded wax for visual effect.
These pieces were done from very rotten decay maple. It is certain beauty in decay. I loved colors and spalting so much that I spent time to save that beautiful wood. Pieces were initially wood turned  up to 1 in thick. Than they were soaked in special epoxy solution. When they became dry and solid I turned them again to achieve final form. The pieces were finished with wax.
