Friends, I've added a couple of new sections to the site. First, you'll see I'm making available some of my big hardwood bowl blanks harvested from NC forests. Some of them are simply too big for my lathe!
You'll also note the memorial pendant. I did this for a friend who lost a family member and it has turned out to be quite meaningful. I hope you'll never find this kind of memorial personally useful. But if you carry some grief, this might help.
Lastly, You'll notice I've shifted entirely to doing rings on a custom basis. Sizing rings is just to personal. I'm glad to send you a ring sizing set for free, if you're seriously interested in one of my rings--or a set for you and your love. The only cost variations are the metal for the ring core.

5 out of 5 starsI really enjoyed working with Mr. Gunderson to get two custom cedar wood bowl blanks for carving. Wonderful customer service and very high quality wood. I will definitely be buying from this shop again.

5 out of 5 starsI can't thank you enough for making this beautiful pen for me! The pen itself is outstanding - great color, style and finish work. You really added to the value of it (at least in m,y eyes) by including a note with the order describing where you found the wood and various other details. Amazing - thank you so very much!

4 out of 5 starsOverall the piece was in great shape. I was a little disappointed that I couldn’t get a natural edge bowl from this. That said, the colors from the spalting are amazing and I enjoyed turning it.

About GundersonWood

Apple from just up the block in Old Salem. oh that grain!
-
That astonishing grain at the crotch between the branches is what I hope to make visible on the bowl.
-
North Carolina high mountain cherry burl. I love every bit of the impossibly complex grain and try to make it visible.

Still on the lathe, but you can see the apple of my eye. Note the grain on the bottom through the natural edge. Cool!
I see the wood and imagine what it wants to be. Then spin the lathe and love it into reality.
