Allan Adler Bracelet Vase

Allan Adler Bracelet Vase

Allan Adler the Jewelry Maker This Allan Adler Bracelet Vase combines the jeweler’s bracelet with my wood vase. Allan Adler from Hollywood was known as the “Jeweler to the Stars” in the 1930’s. Whenever I come across his bracelets I try to purchase them. Then I integrate them into my Woodturning Art. I turn a wood vase with a recess to accept the silver bracelet as a feature to the vase.

Vintage Oil Can Boxes

Vintage Oil Can Boxes

Vintage Oil Can Jewelry Box

Vintage Oil Can Jewelry Box

The design concept for this Vintage Oil Can Jewelry Box series came about from my collection of very cool steampunk antique oil cans. I wanted an interesting way to display them and at the same time bring them back for a useful purpose. I got the idea to use the oil can as a finial.

Duncan Vessel and Lid

Duncan Vessel and Lid

Collaboration Duncan Vessel and Lid features an European antique porcelain lid from the 1800’s that is missing its base.  It is a gift to my friend and mentor, Bob Duncan, who is a Deacon in his church.   Notice the small crosses in the lid design.  The overall size is 3 inch diameter by 3 high. I bought 40 antique hand painted European and Asian porcelain lids made in the 1700 and 1800′s that were missing their bases. The new replacement base is Maple. I hope you enjoy this
