Bruce Hobson – Master Woodworker
Hello all. This is my first blog post so I think I should just let you know a little bit about me and what I do.
My passion is working with wood. I love the colors, the weight, the grains and textures of the surface. Each piece of wood evokes an idea and a question about what I could do with this to make a beautiful table, a bowl, a chair, a cutting board, a music box or a lamp-stand.
Another hobby of mine is photography. I love the morning misty light reflecting off shining bit of moisture soaked leaf.
Nature inspires me to create. I love to release the beauty found in the depths of a gnarly birch burl and transform a “hunk” of wood into a beautiful side table, a bowl or an elegant lamp stand.
While creating the next project, bowl, or chair, I take photos of each phase of development to completion. I wish to share these photo essays with you on in future blog posts.
I welcome your comments and suggestions and I look forward to the next idea coming to life in the workshop.
Bruce
