Lloyd E. Stahl. The following are a variety of lathe-turned boxes. As you can see elsewhere on this website, I generally use native Texas woods and try to create pieces that have a useful function as well as a pleasing form. They are all finished to a smooth (can I say "sensual"? Surface that is pleasing to the touch as well as the eye. Looking for "exotic" Texas woods to turn? I occasionally do woodwork other than "turning". If you are interested in my "flat work" click here Other Woodcrafts. This is a ...

Lloyd E. Stahl. Gallery of Artistic Vessels. I enjoy working with odd bits of wood. To see what character is in them. One of the forms that I especially like utilizes the natural-edge of the wood. When a natural-edge piece is turned, it is oriented such that the original bark and sapwood of the wood forms the upper or outer edge. As you can see from the pieces below, the natural-edge rims can be quite irregular but very interesting. Natural-edge Huisache Bowl 11-8. Turned from an older log of Huisache, t...

Texas Ebony Natural-Edge bowl 12-1. This bowl is 6 inches long by 5-3/4 inches wide, and 3 inches high at the ends.

http://www.prairiesend.com/turnings/vases.asp
Lloyd E. Stahl. Some of these "vases" come close to falling into the "Artistic" category - they are certainly "not suitable for soup"! Most are tall with sharply flaring sides and with natural edge rims. While they are frequently attractive in their own right, they are very suitable for dried floral arrangements. However, without a water-tight liner they are really not appropriate for live flowers requiring immersion in water. This vase is approximately 4 inches tall and an oval 3-3/4 by 4-1/2 inches wid...

Lloyd E. Stahl. Gallery of Plates and Platters. The following are a variety of plates and platters generally attractive enough for display but also fully functional and suitable for serving or place settings. Looking for "exotic" Texas woods to turn? Live Oak Plate 06-1. Note, the plate is much lighter in color than suggested by the top photo (where the plate is upright in a plate-holder). The colors in the image of the lower photo is very close to the light to honey brown of the plate. The finish includ...
