Serendipitous Accidents and Fun Objects

In this section you will find two kinds of objects--those that were created while "playing", and those that occurred accidentally, usually, literally as the result of an accident. In turning, unlike other forms of woodworking, we have a saying that there are no accidents, merely new design opportunities.

Below are some thumbnails of various turnings. Click on any image you wish to and a larger picture will appear. You can then either come back to this page and select another item you wish to view, or directly move on to the next item. If there is an asterisk next to the thumbnail name, it means that I have written more than just what the wood is.
