Laguna Themed Pyography:

Picture
Mike Sooley is a woodturner and has donated several wooden pieces for Julianne's artwork for the Laguna de Santa Rosa exhibit. To find out more about the woods used and styles available, visit mikesooley.com. Below is a sampling of the pieces available in the Heron Hall gift shop. The inventory is replenished monthly.

"Live Oak" Bowl with leaves and acorns

This medium-sized Live Oak bowl was turned green to a final dimension.  An Odie's Oil finish was applied as soon as it was  finished sanding it to slow down the drying process and limit movement of the wood.  The piece did move a little as it dried, but the overall effect makes it look fairly rustic and interesting.  Notice the wavy top edge and the oval shape.   WOOD: Live Oak.  SIZE: 9" Diameter By 4 1/4" Tall. WEIGHT: 14 Ounces.  PRICE: $90.
