"Lightning Strike"
Cedar mounted on sandstone, $140.00. (14"H x 29"L x 7"W x 6.8LBS)
This piece was inspired by a lightning strike on a very large oak tree thirty feet from the house. The lightning split branches off the tree which fell on a nearby fully grown pine tree. The bark was missing from the tree approximately twenty five feet to ground level.The lightning traveled down the entire tree in a cross pattern then entered the earth through one inch diameter carbon snakelike noodles to the septic sewer pipe. It traveled along the pipe to the house and melted some of the aluminum siding then tripped some of the circuit breakers in the electric panel. The eighty eight foot deep well pump was destroyed as were the Hi-Fi receiver, computer modem, security system and sensors, and one of the telephones. All of this happened in milliseconds as I was drinking coffee and eating a donut looking out the kitchen window viewing the storm and looking at the tree.

Cherry with purple heart eyes on cocobolo burl base, $350.00. 12"Dia x 20"H x 6.8LBS)
This piece is a cross between a duck and a dinosaur. I discovered it in a cherry tree in my back yard after the tree was cut down. This carnivorous duck was eating everything in the back yard within a one hundred foot radius. After the carnivorous duck ate something poisonous it died and I decided to preserve it and rename it "Duckasorous". Preserving it was beneficial compared to keeping it as a live pet.

"S.K.O.A. Time Portal"
Spalted maple on walnut base, $550.00. (23"L x 17"W x 16"H x 4LBS)
This piece (Some Kind Of A Time Portal) started out as a very large bowl. Routering out the inside of the bowl on the top fed router the bit caught and ripped it apart with a piece careening off my stomach and landing twenty feet away bouncing off the wall to the floor.The bowl was now broken into 5 pieces as it crashed to the floor and the internal router coupling joint was ripped apart and had to be repaired. After a brief intermission a new plan was implemented in another direction to compensate for incompetence. The new "Time Portal" idea saved a great piece of spalted maple wood and helped healed a bruised stomach. The top feed Delta router has now earned the moniker of "The most dangerous piece of equipment in the shop".
"Mr. Ocean"
Cherry with purple heart claws and eyes, wall hanging, $470.00. (27"L x 20"W x 11"D x 3LBS) Mr. Ocean is the Master controller of all the oceans on Earth and lives most of the time in a very disconnected and spread out molecular state. Occasionally he will coalesce into an image that he thinks is appropriate for the occasion but he is not very good at it. His communication skills are so fluid that no one can comprehend them. His list of accomplishments are negative to land dwellers and baffles mankind to this day.
