VESSELS OF ILLUSION
Master woodturner, Trent Bosch,
shares his secrets on creating
hollow wood sculptures
that defy explanation.
Experienced wood lathe turners
attend Trent's work shops to
turn freshly cut "green wood"
into hollow forms with asymmetrical
features and interior forms that are
"impossible to figure out."
(Hint: some pieces are turned,
then boiled in water to soften,
then inserted and glued into place.)
Trent visited St. Louis recently
to conduct a workshop for
fellow wood turners.
His studio is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado.

He seems to be very passionate about his work.
