Three Bears Turner

Behind the Scenes

This page provides a few images showing various aspects of what goes into producing the finished pieces. One image shows me inspecting a 24″ black walnut bowl. Others are the “before turning” of an 80 lbs manzanita burl that when finished became Manzanita Bowl.4 and the red gum root image is of a 1500 lbs root several pieces have come from. The image “Recycling” refers to the fact each piece generates an average of two full garbage cans of wood chips. Whatever the weather those chips end up in our garden mulch pile. In the spring I mix the pile with my tractor and then come fall the flower beds get the mulch! Miss Emma / shop director is asking for a treat after a hard day in the shop. Her sister Katie is just going with the flow, but insisted on a title!

    • Peter, glad you are enjoying the site. There still are a few more things to do, but the structure basically is in place thanks to Audrey.

  2. I think you should take that chain off of that dead bear in the photo titled “Red Gum Root”. What are you doing with a dead bear? Other than that everything looks great. You might want to change your assistants if they had anything to do with bear.

    • I think we have things under control here as the staff has decided to reflect on your comment during their nap. Take care.
