I like viewers of my band saw bowls to wonder "How did he do that?" -- mentally deconstructing how I might have made the piece and becoming intellectually engaged with it. Each vessel makes a unique statement—whether it be joy or sorrow, movement or stability, excitement or tranquility. I believe that wood deserves great respect when I transform a once-living tree into a work of art. I try to use every piece of wood I can, recycling the pieces left over from one project— even as small as ½ inch thick—into other projects.
