Artistic and Functional Turnings
Bowls have traditionally been a functional addition to the dinner table with, more recently, the addition of artistic elements. We offer both; the functional aspect of their use depends on the design and/or the preference of the owner.
Available pieces may be ordered directly by contacting us or from one of the galleries listed on our Where to Buy page. Not all work shown may be available.

Finding the Character
Jerry enjoys focusing on the flaws (character) in the wood, turning “trash” into “treasure.” Hawaiian methods of bowl repair influenced his discovery of using “stitches” during the turning process, strengthening the “flaw” while emphasizing the character.
Architectural Turnings
Architectural turning is available to homeowners, furniture makers, builders, and architects. Please contact us for more information.
