I harvest and mill a significant portion of my own wood turning blanks and many of my ornament blanks are milled from remnants of larger pieces. Over time the process has evolved into using transparent dyes over spalted wood components, texturing, pyrography and gilding cream or acrylic paints for accents. The introduction of found items such as sea urchin shells into my ornament work coupled with dyed curly maple finials provides unique color contrasts.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"2026 Making Matters Exhibition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44248243044532,"sku":null,"price":144.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0311\/0859\/5757\/files\/BrianMaguire_SeaUrchinswithBirdhouseandHollowForm.jpg?v=1781709889","url":"https:\/\/www.petersvalleygallery.org\/products\/sea-urchins-with-birdhouse-and-hollow-form-by-brian-maguire","provider":"Peters Valley Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
