An Art Gallery of Turned Bowls, Urns, Forms and other Vessels!

Hello, and welcome to The Gallery. My name is Steve Parker and I am the woodturning artist that has created these forms and designs. I hope you take a few minutes and browse through the site. Throughout the site you will find articles about different types of woods, wood blanks, turning tools and systems along with ideas and tips I have shared from my years of experience.

Every piece is one-of-a-kind as no two pieces of wood are exactly the same in design or shape. Every knot, groove, line and even hole is naturally found in the wood, giving it character and originality.

Whether you find and item you would like to purchase or you are just looking, I hope that you enjoy reading the articles and seeing some of my work as much as I enjoy creating it.

Thanks for stopping by. Come back SOON!

Here is a picture of a large Rosewood Bowl that contains both heartwood and sapwood creating a beautiful complimentary color scheme.

For added flare and design, you can make a footed bowl. If you really want to get creative, you can use two different types of wood creating a more dramatic look.

This is a small Jacaranda Urn
that shows its natural grain
beautifully with a small amount of
wipe on poly-urethane.

Mahogany works as a beautiful
accent wood with the
Norfolk Island Pine.
It draws the coloring out of the
area where the branches grew.

One of our favorite pieces, this Camphor Double Hollow Form provided many challenges in the creation process. Note the split at the rim; this can develop into a disastrous situation quickly; the piece could have exploded while turning.

Norfolk Island Pine has turned out to be one of the most highly demanded types of wood by our customers. Finished pieces sell quickly and are hard to keep stocked.

A Camphor Platter is one of
many other forms you can turn
with our blanks. Platters are very functional pieces of art
and make great gifts.

Light up your life with this
stunning oil lamp. Oil lamp inserts
are easy to work with and can be
purchased through most
craft supply stores.

Birch is a light colored wood
that sports a relatively fine
and uniform grain. The swirl
in this piece is quite
eye-catching.
