Joe Ruminski - "Special Times", 4-3/8 inches tall, 1-5/8 inches wide. Cup thickness is 1/16th inch. Materials: Maple burl and rosewood. "Working with wood allows me to uncover some of natures most beautiful designs. This piece is turned in three different sections. The cup is made from the inside out. I actually form the inside of the cup first and then turn away the outside to match. I enjoy the challenge of turning thin and small. I feel that is an art in it's self. I also have to give credit to many people who have helped me with the line and form for this piece come together so well. One of the greatest gifts we can give is teaching others so they can create."
