Beech Wood with Acrylic Paint and Polyurethane

This piece is titled Mando because it reminds me of the helmet worn by the Mandalorian. It is beech wood that has been turned and hollowed on a wood lathe then carved and embellished.
Artist's Statement:
My woodturning adventure began back in 2012 and over time my skills have improved and I have developed my own creative style. I primarily create lathe turned hollow and open forms in wood from native Virginia trees. I try to work with wood from trees that were felled by a storm, disease or for safety reasons. I like to embellish my work with various carving techniques, coloring and wood burning. Though the trees I work with are no longer living they still live on in my creations.
