Artist Jim Short is Penn Cove Gallery's Artist of the Month for March.  Jim rescues homeless wood. His turnings often come from local trees headed for the landfill or a stove. He enjoys the wood's connection to Whidbey Island’s climate and community. A signature of his work is highlighting "imperfections." Forms are developed on the lathe as the wood allows. Most pieces are turned green, allowed to dry and then turned again, sanded and finished. Other green pieces are turned to a finished form and left to find their own shape and texture. Finishes are generally different combinations of shellac, tung oil, walnut oil and beeswax. 

Jim will be at Penn Cove Gallery on Saturday, March 11, 2017 from 10AM to 5PM along with a few of his wood turning tools.  It's a great time stop in and talk with Jim about his techniques.
