Beautifully Crafted Wooden Bowls
This month at Westover Branch Library, Bill Peirce, a woodworker and sculptor for over 30 years, displays his gorgeous wooden creations.
The beautiful, soft-to-the-touch bowls and baby rattles, made from various exotic woods, are only on display through early November.
His bowls are not turned on a lathe, but are made from a single board, with concentric rings cut within the board by bandsaw. The full body of his work can be viewed, and purchased, at Peirce's website.
Find more information on current exhibits, permanent installations and how to apply to exhibit art at the Library on our Art Exhibits page.
