The Coastal Artisans: Robert "Spike" Cloninger, Fine Lathe Turned Vessels - Fairhope AL

http://thecoastalartisans.blogspot.com/2008/10/robert-spike-cloninger-fine-lathe.html

A Regional Collective of Self-Representing Artists. Robert "Spike" Cloninger, Fine Lathe Turned Vessels - Fairhope AL. I am making wooden vessels - bowls, urns, vases, goblets - hand turned on a lathe, or hand carved, or both. My medium is wood that I harvest directly from tree or stump. The wood that I work with is of no value to more conventional woodworkers. The twisted and gnarled crotches, burls and roots that I use are left in the forest. Celia Dionne, Clara's Loom.
