Peep of the Day: Dave Barkby, woodturner.

You know those ugly defects on tree trunks that cause homeowners to rush to their nearest arborist and remove the offending specimen?  They’re called burls, and Dave turns them into amazing artwork.  It’s a laborious, time consuming process, though much of it is hands-off seasoning and drying time, but the end result, well, see for yourself:

His goal is to create a work that looks ancient, but well preserved, like it has been dug up out of an archaeological find.  Many of the final pieces look like they contain a bone inset, but it is all wood, just finished differently.  As someone who appreciates details within nature, his work really captured me, and I am awed by the amount of time it takes to go from log to wall!  This pic gives you an idea of the work involved:
