Donuts

Studies in aromatic cedar


Donuts is family of woodturned vessels that begin from the same archetype: an imperfect, slightly offcenter torus. Each piece in the collection evolves from this shared geometry, yet diverges in purpose, presence, and personality.  A subtle crack in one vessel opens an opportunity—it becomes a card holder. A scalloped edge reveals the machine’s path and celebrates the rhythm of carving.  One is hollowed for a succulent. Another takes on curvature, not by design, but by accident—a CNC misstep that softened the ring into an organic fold. 

The series embraces the inherent variability of wood and the crafting process: the grain shifts, the color breathes, the surface holds memory. No two are alike, but together they express a quiet philosophy—that deviation is not imperfection but opportunity.
