Announcement
You've arrived at the home of the Barely There Series! I appreciate your interest and hope that you will enjoy my vessels. My dream is to create unique sculptural pieces of art you can design a room around!
Logs and burls are uniquely sourced with a primary focus on reclamation and repurposing of urban woods that would otherwise be discarded, chipped, or burned. Burls are rare because they are typically not a viable commercial product, but, they offer a fabulous medium for Barely There vessels.
Specialties are sculptural Wabi-sabi style dry-vases (twig pots), traditional turned bows, live-edge and thin-turned bowls and various seasonal items.
Commissions are welcome.

5 out of 5 starsThis is one of the only apricot bowls that I have seen, and certainly the largest that I have seen. It has very beautiful grain pattern and color. The bowl was nicely crafted and was delivered right away.

5 out of 5 starsWorking with Paul was easy and professional with the shipment arriving earlier than expected. The burned wood is interesting and once I cleaned it up the wood took on an unexpected luster. I look forward to using it in a basket creation.

Honey Locust Burl nested bowl set - a recently commissioned piece for a customer in Florida. Exceptional wood. -
The illusion is that the piece is barely there. If the piece was solid, the form would reveal a perfect vase shape. -
A Box Elder Burl nested set is cored and turned to final thickness to dry and be sanded for finishing -
Turning bowls from a single pieces of wood - must be turned twice. This is the rough-out - for drying. Figured poplar. -
Pardon my dust. I'm currently building a new shop for more great things to come. Hope to move in early next year.
I turn wood into cool stuff.
