LH Studio Artful creations in wood. As an artist, nature remains at the heart of my work, reflecting my love and fascination with the natural world. Fisher. How lucky am I?

I was born and raised on the west coast of Canada. From farming in the Fraser Valley, to living on a vintage 1933 vessel on Quadra Island, to finally settling more than 30 years ago in Qualicum Beach to raise my family; my love of the outdoors as always been a constant. I'd wanted to study art from an early age, but life has an amazing way of helping you put other priorities in its place. Fast forward many decades, to when I had the privilege of meeting world-renowned woodturner / carver Douglas J. To my good fortune, I had the distinct honour of working under his guidance for more than two years prior to his retirement. This incredible opportunity to learn from a master has opened an exciting, new chapter for me as an artist. Working with my hands to create and release an image that tells a story in wood is an exciting process.

The latest work in progress. 42 inch/ 107 cm cedar burl slab, which is highly figured and unusual for cedar. I turned the center design area on my One way 2416 lathe, then I have carefully burned in the design by hand, a slow and careful process, as this will be my guide for carving in the design. Recreating the design accurately and true is of utmost importance to the carving process. This Burl piece was found stored away for 60 yrs. Making it unusually hard and allowing it to be polished to a glass like finish.

Design area is now turned and ready for a design. This burl pce was collected and stored in 1950s before we bought it and prepped the surfaces. Very dry and surprisingly hard for cedar, and has some beautiful grain patterns and figure.

This 100 cm burl slab will be an interesting turning project. I’m hoping to turn a simple area to accommodate another design of Jeremy’s. A lovely piece of wood with some nice flame figure we’re hoping will reveal itself.

This 43 cm (17 inch) red cedar bowl I turned a while back finally has a design curtesy of Jeremy Humpherville, indigenous artist extraordinaire. The design has been burned in by hand.

The finished hummingbird piece, now with final finishing to help bring out the grain and richness. This design by Jeremy Humpherville was a pleasure to bring to life. 48 cm / 19 inch diameter one piece figured big leaf maple.

This Hummingbird piece is coming along nicely. Slowly adding subtle colour tones, which will darken with final finish.
