Mesquite Burl Platter. I purchased this burl from the Tumacacori Mesquite Sawmill. I sliced the burl at right angle to the grain - not the standard way to turn a platter, but I wanted to emphasize the natural edge of the burl and the grain simultaneously. So far, I have turned three platters from the burl. You can see the other platters in My Gallery. I think the results speak for themselves. And if you are ever in southern Arizona, be sure to stop by and visit the Sawmill.

04/29/2009. Lot’s of updates! I have time now since I am in the “Spring Doldrums.” New work includes natural edge olive wood bowls harvested from Central Avenue in downtown Phoenix. These trees were planted in 1908 - that makes them over 100 years old. The wood is absolutely gorgeous! Also working on some new ironwood from Fountain Hills. This wood is nicely banded browns and blacks and highly chatoyant!
