Jim Scarsella bowl turning process
Jim Scarsella is a turner, furniture maker and artist with over four decades of experience making functional art from wood and metal. With a love of Folk Art and color, much of Jim’s current work is focused on the box form. Constructed with wood and/or metal, Jim’s work combines the whimsy and color of Folk Art into box forms of all shapes and sizes. This long running series of decorative turned boxes are made on a lathe, then hand carved and painted. A perfect place for housing one’s special treasures.
Jim creates his work from a home studio in Williamsburg, Michigan.
