Turned from quilted Eucalyptus “firewood!” To achieve this piece, I needed to turn it on two axes, so I could line up the centre of the vessel, due to the wings being on two planes. H260mm W85mm D90mm

Turned from NZ grown Blackwood with textured Rimu base. Starting with only a partial piece of wood, the tricky challenge was to turn it to showcase the small burls on top, framing the heartwood.  Dimensions 190mm tall x 150mm diameter

Turned on three axes, with the outer surfaces of the vessels textured with pyrography, then painted with iridescent acrylic paint and a gloss lacquer finish. The inside of the vessels are painted with iridescent gold paint. H90mm W140mm D130mm 

This piece of Totara started off as my multi-axis demo at the May 2026 NAW Wood Expo. Someone mentioned that they looked like eggcups, so I decided to create tops for an impression of colourful, textured eggs. H75mm W140mm D130mm 

Turned and carved from one piece of Totara. The hollow heads have a wall thickness around 3mm. The pyrography texture is painted with iridescent acrylic paint and a lacquer finish. The wood is finished with haarlem oil.  H340mm W270mm D80mm

Turned and carved out of Pohutukawa, a hard red NZ native wood. Textured with pyrography, then sandblasted to bring back some wood colour. The outside is sprayed with iridescent acrylic paint, finished with lacquer. Display upright or on side.  250mmx190mm
