 | Top Ring Bowl After making the Jim Lorriman inspired stick vase I had one ring left over. After months of trying to think of some use for it I eventually came up with this. © Kelvin Stuart |
Fruit Cherry Bowl When I had to take down a diseased fruit cherry tree in my garden I salvaged as much of the wood as I could. This bowl came out of a triple crotch section of the tree. The one area was full of bark inclusions, resinous gum and voids but adds a natural "design feature". The bowl is one of those you either love it or hate it things. © Kelvin Stuart |  |
 | Celtic Salt & Pepper Mill Set This set, made from Maple and Cherry, was a gift to someone with way back Irish roots. © Kelvin Stuart |
My version of a Stick Vase Jim Lorriman demonstrated his technique for making his stick bowls and vases at one of the guild meetings. I was quite inspired by the items he produced and attempted one myself. It certainly was not as easy as Jim made it look. I was however quite taken with the outcome, particularly the faces that showed up as the turning developed. © Kelvin Stuart |  |
