Artist: David Windsor
“I consider my turned pieces usable art. The raw materials for my pieces are trees salvaged from Tucson and the surrounding desert. The challenged growing conditions often result in wood with striking grain patterns. Other features I take advantage of are knots, bark inclusions, sapwood and wormholes. For each piece, I strive to choose a form that best takes advantage of the grain and features and then use a variety of inlay materials to fill voids. Each of technique is used to take advantage of the unique characteristics of these fascinating desert woods.”
