  • Cat Face Lamp

    Turn of the Century method to extract turpentine from pine trees in Central Florida. This tree was completely dead when found. I noticed metal pieces that was used to guide the turpentine into a bucket (not displayed). When the turpentine would stop producing the metal pieces would be shifted to a new scratch location man made via tool. Note all off the scratch marks over the years as this old tree produced turpentine. The reason they call this tree “Cat Face” is because it looks like the whiskers of a cat. I decided it would make a great piece of history art and turned into a Lamp.

  • China Berry Bench – SOLD!

    I cut down a large China Berry tree near my house and had it cut into slabs. After studying the slabs for a few years, I found if I glued two slabs together (end to end), it would make a good bench back. Then the ideas started happening. After working out the dimensions, I found the back had some punky wood (very soft). I found a source of Arizona’s Kingsman mine turquoise. This is high quality turquoise and some say has healing properties. I used over 2 ½ lbs of turquoise and 6 coats of lacquer to finish the bench. The China Berry has very unusual grain patterns with hues that match Mahogany in beauty. This is a stunning bench that anyone would be proud to display. China Berry Slab: This slab came from the same tree as my bench. This piece is cut cross grain from the tree and then cut again in half. I found the sap wood was very punky so I inlaid turquoise which gives it a very distinctive look. They look like growth rings only blue/green. A very stunning art piece.
