Wood Turned Vessels
| Wood is a medium of warmth and integrity. A wood turner must know his materials well, taking into account the variables of wood type, wood characterististics, and the possible shrinking, expanding, and splitting of the medium itself. |

| Since wood comes with grains, knots, and unique characteristics, its appearance can play a large role in why it is chosen for a particular project. The most fascinating bowls often are the ones made from burls. Burls are grotesque, gnarled malformations that develop occasionally on trees. |
