Tom Wirsing (USA) Yew bowl 9x14cm. SignedI like all of Ray Key’s woodturnings. He has many interesting designs, a few of which we are privileged to have in our collection. But his pieces I like the best are his simple, delicate, thin-walled bowls, with lovely shapes, flowing curves, and beautiful wood with satin-smooth hand-rubbed finishes.From the shape of Ray’s rough-turned blank, it was clear what he intended to make, a small bowl with a delicate base and flared top. I call it a “Tulip” shape. In Ray’s tradition, I kept the piece simple, relatively thin, with a smooth, hand-rubbed finish. I hope Ray would have liked my Ray Key Collaboration.Tom Wirsing, Thomas Wirsing Woodturning, 2019, Longmont, Colorado, USAThe Ray Key Collaboration Auctionn
