After another 2 month break, I figured I’d pop on here just to share that things are still chugging along. Been heavy on the Carolina Grain side of my work so far this year; focusing on that and getting prepared for my first show of the year this upcoming weekend.

But just wanted to share this piece that I recently finished that was turned from some beautiful spalted, ambrosia maple. This one is headed off to the Greenhill Gallery to be a part of the upcoming Emerald Gala which I am very excited to be a part of! It’s nice to finally see something get finished that isn’t a spoon!

Anyways yall, I’ve got some time set aside next week just for turning and finishing some new work so hopefully no more two month breaks at least for now….
Just a quick post to share that a new video is now up on my YouTube channel that shows a look into the turning of this box elder bowl! We got some beautiful snow here at the shop the other week and it seemed like a great time to work through another piece I had wrapped up in plastic since I wasn’t able to get out in the yard to cut something new up. Also it was just quite the experience to get to work in the shop with the kind of snow we were getting; doesn’t happen as often as I would like! If you decide to watch it, please let me know what you think!
I’ve had this pile of bowl blanks sitting in the shop longer than I’d like to admit and with all my logs being covered in snow and ice these past few days, I figured it was the perfect opportunity to FINALLY start working through them and to see if they are still any good!

For this first blank, I had assumed it was box elder but due to the crazy mold that had built up under the plastic wrap, it was hard to fully tell. I knew I had some sweet gum and oak in this pile as well so I wasn’t 100% certain. You’d think that as a woodworker I would be able to identify woods better but truthfully that is a skill I have always been horrible with!

Either way, I was correct and it ended up being some beautiful box elder and more importantly it was still good! Minus some slight tear out that will need some extra care when finishing but I’m just glad to know the wood, especially something as unique as box elder, wasn’t wasted.
Just a little preview of a piece of sweet gum that was turned a few months ago when I picked up the Pro-Forme hollowing tool.

I decided for the first time using it I needed to turn something extra special and I figured this beautiful piece of sweet gum, pith included, would be the perfect piece. Honestly, I was a little hesitant to approach this with the pith due to turning that section of the log and more importantly the drying process but surprisingly, everything went better than I anticipated and I’m happy to say that there were no major cracks while the piece was drying!

It’s been a big goal of mine to get into turning deeper forms for a while now. I spent a lot of 2025 going big on the diameter of my turning and so now I want to put more effort into turning taller. This piece here comes in around 12” tall and is one of the deeper pieces I have turned so far! Since this piece was turned late last year, it is actually dry and ready for finishing so expect to see that here soon and also more work done with the Pro-Forme as well! Also if you have any tips at all for using it, I definitely welcome those as even now after a few months of use feel like I still have a lot to learn! 😅
The other day I finally cut into an oak log that has been laying here at the shop for longer than I’d like to admit. Because of how long it’s been laying on the ground though, it has developed some beautiful spalting throughout the sapwood and so to keep with the theme from my past two spalted maple pieces, I turned this piece of oak in a similar style. I’ve grown really fond of this design of bowl where the rim can have a slight curvature inwards then making its way outwards just for there to be a sharpe taper to the base. It’s one shape I find myself continually coming back to. I figured with how tall this blank was, it would be a great contender for this design. The only difference with this piece compared to the maple pieces however is I decided not to taper in the rim but to sort of keep it flowing from the bottom curve. I absolutely love how this piece came out and I’m already planning on the next form from this oak! Let me know what yall think of it!
After turning the natural edge bowl for my reel last week, I had a cut off from that same log and spent some time this weekend turning this new piece from that. I wanted to keep the shape sort of cohesive with the natural edge bowl just to see how the two different rims would work with the overall shape and I’m pretty happy with the overall result. Last year it felt like my word was experiment whereas going into this year my goal and word of the year is consistency. I won’t get in to that too much right now but let me know what you think of this new piece! Of course looking back, I should’ve taken a picture with both bowls to show yall how they look side by side by I’ll save that for another post here soon!
Well after taking an almost two month hiatus from this side of my work, I figured it was time to get back to it. Since November, has got the majority of my attention. Spoons and other utensils have been really the only thing coming out of the shop but it wasn’t all intentional. During this time, the motor on my chainsaw gave out and with Christmas coming up, that repair had to be put on the back burner so I decided to make the most of it and just focus on getting as much ready for Carolina Grain as possible. Now that I’m finally done with the holiday season (also side note, i don’t know about yall but it legitimately felt like it came and went in a matter of minutes. Time could slow down any day now!), it feels like I can put more focus back onto this side of my work. Also having a new chainsaw helps with that as well! So I just want to say a huge thank you to those of you that have shown so much love to me over at Carolina Grain this past holiday season; it was one of the more successful ones I’ve had in some time and it’s only because of y’all so thank you for that. So with that said, I hope you enjoy this short video of my first bowl of 2026, turned from some beautiful spalted maple!
I’ll tell ya, It’s been a struggle getting anything done around here that’s not related. For weeks now I have been wanting to make some new videos since it’s been months at this point but I’ve faced that dilemma of want vs need when it comes to my work. When it gets this time of year, my mind always shifts to what I should work on and get made. Rather than anything personal that I’d like to turn, I always try and focus on my gift and utilitarian work but to be honest, I have really enjoyed my last few weeks in the shop which is something in years past I haven’t been able to say when it comes to doing this type of work. I have been terrible with my social media lately but I have been working on a lot of items I don’t typically dedicate much time too like cake pedestals, lidded boxes, biscuit cutters and a whole bunch of new utensils. I also took a week and just turned nothing but salad bowls which you see here which is something els I also haven’t done much of lately; for the past few months my personal work has been my focus. So the change of pace and sort of “going back to my roots” has been really nice. Rather than feeling burnt out, I’ve taken a different approach with my utensils that has allowed me to really enjoy the process again which is something I haven’t been able to say for a while. But anyways, I just thought I’d share that new work is still being made but right now the personal stuff I typically share here is just having to take a back seat at the moment but if you’d like to see more new work, please check out, thanks yall!
It’s a rare occurrence here at the shop for me to get the opportunity to turn any burls, especially one this size!

One of the guys I get my logs from called me up a few weeks ago asking if I’d be around because he was going to drop something off. Later that afternoon, he’s pulling this massive cherry burl off the back of the truck telling me it’s mine but the catch is, he’s unsure if the wood is actually any good.

From the looks of it, it was hard to tell. There was ant damage, lots of cracks and some voids all around the surface but until you actually cut into it is when you’ll know for certain and that’s exactly what I did!

I ended up filming the entire process of this piece which will be available on YouTube later today so be sure to check it out if you’d like see more of the process and a little bit of frustration I’d run into…
Not technically the first nesting set I have turned BUT it is the first nesting set I have ever finished so does this technically make it my first?? Either way I had a ton of fun making this as well as learned quite a bit about coring. Making this set was definitely time consuming but I’d say it was worth the effort. I guess my next attempt at one will have to be a natural edge set!

To see the process of how this was made, be sure to check out my YouTube; the video will be posted later this morning at 10:30 am!
