ECCENTRIC OLD GUY

Crafting artistic lathe turned wooden bowls for parlor decor and living room accent.

I've spent 40 years in active pursuit of this, my life's dream. My purpose has never been about profit as the primary motive. The emphasis has always been my personal quest for excellence in craftsmanship and artistic design. Therefore, my objectives are truly in tune with the "heart of an artist."

Look for classic elegance, unique artistic shapes, finely executed flowing curves, crisp well defined corners, and multiple cleanly cut details. These desirable woodturning aspects will distinguish my work with the art collector and woodworking connoisseur alike.

photo of bowl I’m no longer surprised by how gorgeous every bowl I get from Odie is, but each one does still take my breath away when I see it in person. This extraordinary piece of bubinga comes with great rich contrasting colors with wavy, hypnotic grain pattern throughout, all captured within this tiny, intricately wrought, smooth as glass delicate little dish. Well done, sir.

bowl with yarn Another gorgeous bowl I couldn’t resist! This one has incredible burl and a cute chubby shape. I can’t wait to use it to photograph my yarns and just hold skeins while I knit! As always it was sent promptly and packed extremely safely.

photo of bowl This is an outstanding rare Brazilian Blackheart bowl. It has great contrast between the sapwood and heartwood and is supprisingly heavy. Great attention to detail on this bowl and the finish is perfect. This bowl is even more beautiful in hand than in the photo.

photo of bowl I have been looking for a Black Oak Burl piece for a while. Odie came through with a knockout! I love the shape and detail he put into this bowl. Definitely going to the prominent spot on the display shelf.
