Linda Ferber (USA) bloodwood decorated bowl 8x17cm. SignedRay was an artist, teacher, and a friend. It was an humbling honour to be chosen for this tribute collaboration. Ray's contributions to woodturning often reflected his quick wit and sense of humour. Our conversations covered a full range of topics with Ray offering nuggets of wisdom both for woodturning organizations and personal life. Ray’s keen eye for design, dedication to detail, and passion for turning were evident in his work throughout his prolific career. Early in Ray’s career he made wooden mice as a craft item. I added a little mouse holding a flower in Ray’s bloodwood bowl to signify this beginning, with one fallen pedal representing Ray. However, his legacy lives and continues to blossom through this tribute.Stay sharp and turn safeThe Ray Key Collaboration Auction
