Practical

MANYWOOD BATONS AND BATON BOX

These batons and baton box were made for a music conductor friend of mine. The baton handles are turned on a lathe and the shafts are carbon fiber for strength and lightness. The box has a sliding top and holds several batons. The top and bottom of the box are built with many different woods and have several layers of "overlay."

BOW CASE

A free and curvy sculpture and a practical piece of wall art constructed from an overlay of walnut, ash, and purpleheart. It holds a timeless piece of Renaissance technology, a replica of Galileo's Thermometer.

This practical piece is made from two contrasting woods and a touch of steel. The handle of the cane is made from mesquite and the shaft is made of maple.
