	Japanese Cherry Burl/Epoxy Vessel		Rick Bywater
	Dimensions: 3-5/8” diameter x 3-1/2” tall Wood Used: Chinese Cherry BurlDimensions: 4-1/2” diameter x 6” tallRick’s Description: This vessel is from a termite-infested piece of ornamental Japanese cherry burl that Southwest Airlines would not allow me to check on the plane because it really was terminate infested. Several months later it arrived by car from Portland, Oregon.The termites had a feast! It took me several years to figure out how to use epoxy which compliments the wood and fills the voids.Working primarily with pine cones it was easy to shift over to burl. Pouring three colors of epoxy with the vessel upside down produced a solid rim needed for stability when turning the vessel.This piece is signed and was completed in 2020. This wood has had quite a journey from NE Portland to Olathe, Ks and now to your home.
	Jatoba Wood Platter		Kris Coyan
	Wood Used: Jatoba Dimensions: 9-1/8″ diameter x 1-1/4″ tall Description: My wife likes to get me wood blanks as gifts. This past father’s day, she gave me a 2x10x10 piece of Jatoba wood that she hand picked at Woodcraft.I turned this piece, trying my best to recall the instructions from professional turner Eli Avisera taught in a hands-on demonstration at our club. I used the same scale and curves, however, I changed the embellishment around the outer rim. I do like the way the form accents the color variations in the wood grain.The black lines were painted on with a dark acrylic and then I added some metallics for a slight sheen. I was not satisfied with the overall ‘balance’ of the rim features until I added some texture to one of the outer rings.Ultimately, I was very happy with the platter! It was a fun project.

Jerry’s personal mission is to turn 1000 tops every year for his charity and he has always exceeded that number. Jerry and his “Top Team” make tops at the Clubhouse and are always glad to show others how to turn a great top. They could always use a few more tops.
