Artwork Description

Bob Stocksdale used only one tool, a half-inch gouge, for most of his bowls, platters, trays, and bookends. He valued craftsmanship and often made multiples so that he could carefully refine a particular form. In Tray the simple shape emphasizes the subtle veins found in Honduras mahogany.
