I turned this platter on my lathe from Macrocarpa wood. New Zealand is famous for its Manuka flower honey. So this platter depicts the Manuka flowers with a honeycomb behind it. The design is pyrography with gold metallic paint. 27cm (10 1/2 inch) wide. All my designs are copyright.

I recycled this hand turned wooden bowl after falling in love with the grain and knew I had to do pyrography on it. So the Zentangle fits into the 3 main areas of the wood grain shading. 27 cm wide (10 1/2 inches)
My turned Silky Oak bowl that had bug runs in it. I drilled some holes and copper wired it. 21cm wide 10cm tall.

My Dad turned this macrocarpa platter 25 years ago. So I skimmed it clean on my lathe and burnt the Koru and silver fern pyrography design on it. 27cm (10 1/2 inch) wide. All my designs are copyright.

The koru (fern frond) in New Zealand Maori culture is a sign of new life and growth. In my design, the woven thread through the koru shows the life force of a person. The sections in the koru show life is an evolution of parts that have layers to each stage. The background is based on a kete (woven flax basket). It is believed that our knowledge learnt in life is stored in our own internal Kete. We are an Island Nation so water surrounds our beauty.
