Wall art, Spirit Base

Spirit Base, redwood burl sanctuary wall art, your mind and soul likes,Spirit Base, redwood burl sanctuary wall art, your mind and soul likes, find peace and security each every time. A special place in home where you and others can find peace love and balance, strength. Lets not forget protection, a symbolic wall hanging to center your gifts and reinforce the creation on your most desired goals for life, spirit and growth. This is my interpretation of my work for those who might find the beauty in and around our daily lives.

In the beginning




Starting to take form













Starting to add copper

The outer ring has symbols that represent Faith, Love and strength. The int rings represent the open circle of life, the begin and the questionable end. Fond in then teaching of Zen. I added four rings, that represent symbolic Hopi native american maze to enlightenment,. Once your spirit finds new ways to the center of the maze, to be given gifts, love, hope, inspiration, abundance, and joy. For each journey through the maze a new gift is realized, one that is most needed at the time your soul most needs. I hope find the peace in and with this peace as I have in the creation of it. may it always bring you peace, balance and joy, Spirit Base

Thank you for follow me as I expand my horizons through my art.

The second picture has the jig repositioned, parallel to the bed ways, I like this position much better, as it allows me to plunge to the depth I require. Then I reposition it, toward the center by + 1/8" or so. Also you need to play with the speed of the lathe. I believe I was some where around 250-300 rpm. This piece is a cut off, I never measured the thickness. it is just thicker than the 2 enclosed bearing I plan to mount. Also it's thicker because I wanted to add girth, to ensure more rigidity. This picture show the center knocked out. I used the router to go as thin a...
