Mark Lindquist's Shed

I was in my second favorite den of iniquity, Asheville Hardware, and found a nice book about Mark Lindquist.

I did some research and found the below showing his studios.

How many would KILL for just one of them?

The book also noted that in the 1970s he rough turned a maple bowl and buried it for a year to induce spalting. I have many logs sitting on the ground, cut side to dirt for that purpose. Roughing first, then spalting is an idea.

I like Mark's earlier turned things more than the later sculpted pieces.

Yes Paul, I think we all spire to produce his sort of artistry. He certainly changed perceptions when it cam to woodturning.

Thanks for the post and the links.:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:
