This piece was made to replace my Boxing Day Disaster (posted earlier). It is made for my son Chris and his wife Yolanda for Christmas 2011. With the other one getting broken during photography on Boxing Day, needless to say this one was important to us. The fish in this view was actually drawn, on [...]
This new “Light Dancer #18″ was made for our nephew’s wife’s mom and dad in celebration of their 30th wedding anniversary this month. Lori, the daughter managed to get her siblings all on side with this gift and we hope that the mom and dad will get years of use out of it. The “” [...]
This is a recent picture of “Cherry Delight” when lit. Eileen and I had this one lit the other night and we backed it up in to a corner of our china cabinet and these photos were the results from that shoot. Eileen did the photography and I think it shows just how cool these [...]
This is another of our Light Dancer series or was until today. This piece was made for my oldest son Chris and his wife Yolanda for Christmas.

This piece is called “Beautiful Butterflies” and was recently sold to my sister Gerry and her husband Slim. It was to be a Christmas present for their daughter Sandra and her husband Paulo who live in Florida – a long way from Alberta that is for sure. The butterflies were done by hand by Eileen. [...]
This piece is the second in a new series – yet to be named. The piece is called “Lively”. They all feature multi-axis turning and thin rims that are either pierced or stippled. The idea for this series came from the Doug Fisher workshop I took back in the spring. I have been trying ever since [...]
This is the second piece of a new series – yet to be named (maybe weird series is the answer to that). It is highly influenced by the work of Doug Fisher, from Parksville, BC, Canada. The outside is turned on multiple axis – the inside is just plain weird. This piece is officially related [...]
