In the earlier days of my journey as a turner, I was gifted a wood blank by the widow of my late friend Maurice, a mentor whose influence still resonates in my work. This segmented bowl, born from that cherished piece, stands as a testament to the enduring bonds of friendship and the early steps of craftsmanship.

Featuring exaggerated curves that artfully highlight the segmented geometry, this bowl captures the essence of learning and growth. Its design is intentionally chunky, a reflection of my exploratory phase in turning, resulting in a piece that carries a surprising weight for its size. This added heft speaks to the depth of the legacy it carries, both in terms of material and the memories encapsulated within.

The 'Legacy Curves Segmented Bowl' is a unique artifact from my earlier days as a turner, embodying the spirit of perseverance, the warmth of remembered friendships, and the tangible progress of skill. It's a chunky, sturdy piece that invites not just admiration but also contemplation of the journey from novice enthusiasm to seasoned artistry
