"My experience of making works of art is largely rooted within the desire for creative expression. The medium I have chosen is wood, and stems from my deep reverence for the material since childhood. For me, one of the first physical steps of the process of making involves the lathe, a machine which allows me to explore forms very quickly, with found wood that is generally not available commercially. Most of my work concerns the aesthetic of the vessel form, one of the most relevant and oldest artifacts of human civilization: it is timeless and ubiquitous throughout multitudes of cultures—past and present." - J.

Linden plates! A sensual material combined with a precious "savoir-faire" that tells the luxury of simplicity, to reconnect with a day-to-day nature. Each plate is different.

It was created with local wood by the wood turner Fabien Haurat in his workshop in south of France. Each mark, rough patch, shade, or knot is preserved to reveal the sheer beauty of the wood.

A unique and rare turned bowl by Ed Moulthrop. Made of figured tulipwood and finished in reflective gloss the bowl has great presence and an aura of mystery. Ed Moulthrop is a master at letting the wood reveal it's character and speak for itself. A note about Ed Moulthrop: "Ed Moulthrop (1916-2003) was a self taught woodturner, known as the father of modern woodturning. His interest in wood began as a child and he bought his first lathe when he was a teenager. Although he studied to become an architect, wood remained a hobby during his time as an architect. In the 1970s, he resigned from architecture to pursue woodturning professionally. He was most famous for his large scale turned bowls, made from domestic woods, usually spherical or elliptical with polished clear finishes. All of his equipment was designed and built by himself to accommodate the large size of his pieces. He studied architecture at Case Western Reserve University and received his Masters degree from Princeton University. His work is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, Renwick Gallery, White House Collection of American Crafts, and Museum of Arts and Design."

T32971 To Turn the Perfect Wooden Bowl Book More than just how a turning legend shapes, sharpens or finishes. During the woodturning renaissance of the 1970's, one man emerged as the primary inspiration for scores of woodturners. His name was Bob Stocksdale. Unpretentious and extraordinarily talented, Stocksdale was a master at finding the natural beauty in wood for his functionally elegant bowls. His love for exotic timbers, careful attention to selecting just the right piece, and gifted use of simple tools were the trademarks that gained him celebrity status and set the standard for excellence in the contemporary wood art movement. In 1987, author Ron Roszkiewicz had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spend a week in Stocksdale's home workshop to hear him describe his life, work, thoughts, and opinions. With text transcribed directly from audiotapes and never-before-seen photographs, The Perfect Wooden Bowl is a snapshot of an American original. Note: Due to their nature, books are non-returnable.
