Woodturning artist, Mike Kornblum creates
distinctive wood bowls and wood sculptures from hand
selected solid pieces of Manzanita root-burl wood.
Each wood bowl or wood sculpture is a one-of-a-kind
creation. Mike's works are pieces of art developed using
the process of woodturning. With 15 years of woodturning
experience behind him, artist Mike Kornblum continues
to study his craft to further his talent and expertise
as a wood turning artist.
Wood bowls and wood sculptures are created with the
utmost craftsmanship and care. Each piece is meticulously
wood turned until the beauty of the root-burl comes
shining through. As I create a bowl or piece
using Manzanita wood, I generally follow the form of
the burl and try to bring out the beauty beneath the
surface of the wood. When the piece starts taking
shape and I see the possibilities of what it's going
to be, that's when I get excited about what I do.
