Wood Fire23

the horse rolls out, making its provision and fuel

Wood Fire18

Quercus rubra holds Quercus alba for a shave

Wood Fire19

showing how much learning is found when a draw knife pulls through the grain

Wood Fire21

and much beauty in the life of trees

Wood Fire22

yielding four legs from the rugged giant of civilization (that is Mr. Q. Alba)

Wood Fire02

back to the door. routing tongues and tenons, applying coiled energy to transferred pattern

Wood Fire03

every fit feels like a miracle

Wood Fire04

and the two become one

Wood Fire05

“Onforan” becoming a door, framing a passage

Wood Fire13

embers stirring embers

Wood Fire09

into the incense of fearless youth

Wood Fire14

a seed within a seed, life and healing travel in a mysterious shell

Wood Fire12

later, the arrangement has changed, she’s at it again

Wood Fire27

meanwhile, nature imitates nature

Wood Fire29

round violently became flat, then eases its way into concavity

Wood Fire11

green tips taken by the hoof-shod

Wood Fire25

the edges wound-up by the steel-shod

Wood Fire17

summits of pollen-yellow splendor arise from the dust

Wood Fire16

in a moment, history and beauty merge and glow

Wood Fire20

while the broad axe composes its song

Wood Fire01

as it was written in fire

Wood Fire26

as it was written in wood

A bowl for Clive, a mantle for Tanner, and a spoon and a saddle (I am only responsible for the plaque, which is in hedge and walnut) for Harold.  This weeks bonus image is a little tree frog freshly emerged from my son’s tadpole nursery.  I trust you’ll forgive so many images of one bowl when you consider how stunning the character of the grain is from every angle.
