Merit Award

Ray and Martha Rountree

Meditation
Contemporary Woodturning – Maple

Ray and Martha Roundtree’s “Meditation” shows an impressive mastery of lathe-turned wood. The front of the vessel features a low relief scene with a surprising sense of depth. Beyond the foliage and heron in the foreground, the pierced walls of the vessel are cut to suggest a deep space of tangled branches and vines. The subdued use of color in the finish also allows us to fully appreciate the character of the wood.
