About my Work
I
am a Christian, husband, father, grandfather and finally a woodturner.
Those are the order of my priorities. God bestows each one
of us with various skills and gifts. I try to use mine for His
glory. If you like them, I am pleased. I give all the
credit to God because it is only through Him I can do these things.The pieces I produce are individual and I don't use templates. They are unique. Some pieces have natural voids or bark, which are not defects, but enhance the overall beauty of the piece. I like to use woods that have highly figured grains and patterns. When I look at a piece, grain, color, bark inclusions and burls all play a part in the final outcome. I try to see what God put in the wood for us to find. Please note, given the natural state of wood, it is always in movement. It gives off moisture or takes it in. A good finish slows down this process but it cannot be prevented entirely. The wood will always seek its natural balance. Unless stated as utilitarian, these pieces are not intended to hold liquids. Measurements given are to the nearest 1/8 inch. Natural edged pieces assume the diameter of the widest portion. If you want to find out more about an Ichthus, click the word or the fish above! God bless, Tom Tunget Powered by God
