“I have designed and made objects for as long as I can remember,” says Harvey. “My current passion is wood working, most of which I turn on a lathe using locally sourced wood. Much of the wood has been aged for a year or more before use. The aging allows the fungi that cause rot to produce beautiful dark lines and coloration changes.  The process is called ‘spalting’. I also use a ‘live edge’ technique which incorporates the tree bark as a visual element in the turned object.”
