Woodturning Design

In Derek Hayes' book "Woodturning Design" published May 2011 two of my pieces are used for discussion. They are the bowl based on the golden section that is in the bowl section of the gallery and the 12" coloured sycamore sphere that is on the sculptural pieces section of the gallery.
