Creative Turnings
C-8 US Army Regulation size Bugle
This group of woodturnings falls more into the category of art. I get inspiration from nature or things with which I have worked. Some turnings were done for the Big Island Woodturners Club Challenge. Others were inspired from pieces in different mediums such as glass or metal. Sometimes I am challenged by the guys who I meet with at Pau Hana.
