The Helm of the USS Platte. The USS Platte was the longest running ship in the history of the Navy. It has 11 battle stars from WWII, 6 from Korea, and 5 from Vietnam. With all of that it never lost a sailor.
I was commissioned to give the helm it's final resting place. The design of the stand in mine.
This carving of Mother Goose needed a place to be displayed. We're not sure as to the age of this carving but there are some whom have stated it to be turn of the century. The base was my design and it is made from coffee wood and finished in an oil and wax finish.
This box is made from spalted maple, cherry, rosewood, tiger maple, and bubinga. The entire box was made on the table saw.
"The Statement" is a project that is currently on display at the Plymouth Art Centre in Plymouth WI until Jan 24 2010. This project was a collaboration with Mike Morris, Morris Glass Etching at 920-905-1111. The materials used were black ash, black walnut, English walnut, and bronze glass with a black back ground.
Where did the summer go! Fall is upon us, wet as it's been. Another week or so and the trees will be bare. Lot of exciting projects for this winter. I've just finished up a banister that is a replica of the 1850's. It was a great opportunity!
