Bob Coleman
Hollis, NH
Hollow Wooden Ornaments
To begin, Bob will shape the globe and hollow it out. He will verbally explain sanding and finishing the globe and then will drill the globe off the stem as a final step in creating the globe. The icicle and finial will be spindle-turned from rough blanks to final shapes, with attention to layout, sanding and finishing. To end, he will part these pieces off the lathe and assemble a finished ornament.
Bob Coleman has been a full time woodworker for over 35 years, crafting furniture and quality cabinetry. In 1997 while working on a large restoration project, Bob needed bases and capitals for several existing columns. The timing was right. He purchased his first lathe. What started as work turned into a hobby and then to a passion.His focus now is mostly on the hollow ornaments, which are created from salvaged wood that showcases the natural beauty of our native species.
