Collection Type: Book Turning Title: 500 Wood Bowls Author: Lark Books Description: The wooden bowl rediscovered. This sumptuous, full-color photographic collection features 500 masterworks

from today's finest contemporary woodcraft artisans. Using age-old hand tools and modern machines, theseartists bend and shape the wood, blending inspiration and technical innovation with cultural influences fromAsia, Europe, and the Americas to create—fantastic shapes that continually delight. "...a wealth of visual imagery... Beautiful reproductions." —Art Times Wood bowls are common to virtually every culture on every continent, where their functions range fromutilitarian to extravagantly ceremonial. In the latter half of the twentieth century, contemporary artisans began torediscover the creative potential inherent in the wood bowl's form. This new generation of "bowl makers" hasproduced an extraordinary array of magnificent artworks. Far removed from their beginnings as simple holdingvessels, the 500 wood bowls featured here celebrate both the artistic vision and transformative technique ofdozens of contemporary woodcraft artisans. They bring their visions to life by exploiting the special properties of the wood itself. Warm, forgiving, andmalleable, wood adapts to an extraordinary range of working tool techniques, from powerful hydraulic chainsaws and laser cutting machines to traditional hand-shaping tools. This full-color pictorial survey showcases therich variety of the bowl-turner's art, from the gentle elegance of Christian Burchard's sandblasted and bleachedmadrone burl, "White Gourd," to the striking wood and copper "Oceanic Anointing Vessel"from New Zealandartist John Ecuyer, who pays homage to South Pacific island ceremonial traditions. While some of the artists employ such exotic woods as eucalyptus, ambrosia maple, koa, Makassar ebony, andcocobolo, others, including Peter M. Petrochko and Eli Avisera, demonstrate that laminates and even plywoodcan be an effective medium for an artist's creativity. Inlays of gold, copper, or silver make powerful statements,yet some of the most inspiring pieces show their strength through their simplicity and grace. A source of unending inspiration to the woodworker and hobbyist, or anyone who simply loves beautiful objects,this collection showcases the artistry of those who choose to pour their visions into magnificent wood bowls.

Collection Type: Book Turning Title: Vancouver & FVWG Present - Russ Fairfield Author: Fairfield, Russ Description: RUSS FAIRFIELD'S WOODTURNING RESUME

I can make the claim that I am an "old-timer" because I was turning wood before there were 4-jaw scroll chucksand "Craft Supplies". A piece of wood was held between centers or attached to a homemade faceplate, and wemade our own turning tools from truck springs, carpenters chisels, drill rod, and machinist's tool bits. My lifelong career as a woodturner started in high school in the early 50's, and it is more notable for its longperiods of no activity, rather than for its accomplishments. The longest was during the 60's and 70's as Ifollowed a career as an engineer in the pulp and paper industry. Increasing job and family responsibilities, andmoving to a new location every two years left little time for woodturning. I arrived in Tallahassee, Florida in 1982, and decided that this was the end of the career moves. I found myselfsurrounded by more species of exotic wood than I had ever dreamed were possible and a very active art fairmarket. With the purchase of a new lathe, I was back into woodturning, and I have not stopped since. But, there was one more disrupting move. Following retirement in 1999, we came home to Washington State.Since that interruption, I have concentrated on collecting wood, turning as many segmented, square, and naturaledge shapes as time permits, writing a book on woodturning, attending art fairs, and preparing for theconstruction of a woodturning studio this summer. When I left the Northwest in 1965, I knew of only five active woodturners in all of Washington and Oregon.Times have changed. Russ Fairfield
