This golden-toned turned vessel showcases the expressive personality of the tree it came from, with a bold open knot and swirling grain patterns. Woodturner John Eslinger, who relocated to Lopez Island in 2018 after many years working with galleries in Illinois and Wisconsin, specializes in giving discarded wood new life. His work emphasizes the natural quirks and markings that tell each tree’s story, creating pieces that are both useful objects and quiet sculptural statements.
