This piece came from a old Camphor tree in Berkeley California that had seen everything over the past 50 years. Failing health required the tree to be removed but the incredibly beautiful wood lives on in the pieces created from this once majestic tree. Like many Camphor trees, a burl formed at the base skirting the trunk creating beautiful swirling grain and figure in a variety of colors. The wood for this piece was cut from a 200lb trunk section, brought back to my shop, trimmed with a chainsaw, then put on a lathe for shaping and hollowing. The piece was finished over the course of a month with 15+ coats of Tung Oil Finish, achieving a the desired glossy luster.

www.turningdesign.com . John, is a native of Seattle, graduate of the University of Washington, and now lives outside of San Francisco, CA in Marin County. John has been a professional woodturner since 2010, focusing on heirloom bowls and hollow vessels made from reclaimed local hardwood trees. The Bay Area's broad range of climates produces ideal growing conditions for hundreds of species of hardwood trees. Rich dark Walnut, spectacular Maple burl and exotic Olive are some of the beautiful woods that find their way to John’s lathe. All of the sourced wood comes from stumps reclaimed from local arborist. These once spectacular trees were removed for disease or safety concerns and headed for the landfill or fireplace. Every week John meets arborists at job sites or climbs through their wood piles searching for logs that have incredible potential hidden beneath the bark. Returning to the shop with one piece or a trailer load, John chainsaws each log into approximate size and then mounts the blank on a lathe for turning into shape. It takes nine months to a year for a bowl to naturally dry, but patience pays off when the final sanding is done and finish is applied to see the beautiful grain come to life.
