Wall art, Spirit Base

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
The wood is redwood burl, with natural live edges. The pit holes are made by burrowing insects, and add a very interesting texture.
This piece is created to look as a talisman, the may have been created centuries ago, and shows it's age, through the inclusions, as if parts were lost in time. I think it could have been hang on a wall in temple, not yet known, do to the cross languages of symbols.
I plan to include all this information with a small book to accompany the wall art.


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






Spirit base

Here it is the completed piece.
This wall piece will rotate if your spirit wishes.

The making of a sphere jig for the wood lathe, on the fly.

Aluminum block on wood lathe.  My goal is to create a sphere jig, (sounds so much better than a ball jig). First things first, I bought the One Way drill jig at the symposium, in Phoenix this year, with the thought of mounting a router. I never thought I would be using it on aluminum. This picture shows my first attempt at making a "T" washer to use to bolt the sphere jig. 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...

Figured Olive wood bowl with turquoise inlay

Completed Olive bowl with turquoise Surprise,  It had a baby.... Mounted with revolving tail stock.  Figured Olive wood bowl with turquoise inlays and a live edge. wood turnings, using a lathe, you can see mounted in a nova chuck. On the outside, I have filled the inclusions with real turquoise stone, and using "CA", thick glue to fill the recesses over the the turquoise and the entire exterior.  I have used my shop made carbide chisel to remove the high portions of stone, and a lot of sanding to follow, starting with 150 grit. This will take at lease 10 3" disk on my air powered angle sander. I then will sand up to at least 800 grit, followed by my mixture of shellac/alcohol/ walnut oil. Her you see the bowl with patches of "CA" glue as I add turquoise.  Her is the picture of the preliminary shape with the tenon, before it went into an air kiln. It did warp a little, as suspected. Here you can see it remounted wit...
