"Hurricane Ridge" Hand Turned Pinecones in Epoxy Pedistal Bowl on Padauk

Hurricane Ridge doesn't ease you in. One moment you're driving through old-growth forest, and forty minutes later you're standing at 5,242 feet, staring out at snow-capped Olympic peaks — and a meadow so purple it doesn't look real. Broadleaf lupine, shoulder to shoulder, swaying in the same winds that named the ridge. This is one of the wildest, most quietly breathtaking places in the Pacific Northwest, and it earns every mile of the drive.

The people who make that drive know exactly what they're after. They're up early, windows down, already planning which trail. For them, the lupines aren't a bonus — they're the whole point. Purple-blue and wild, blooming hard against a short summer, unapologetic about how beautiful they are. These are people who feel most alive when they're standing somewhere the wind has a name.

This vessel was made for them. Swirling lupine-purple epoxy moves across the surface like a wildflower field seen from above — deep, layered, alive. Real pinecones are suspended within the resin, revealed in cross-section by the lathe, each slice a small surprise. The base is turned from padauk, its deep red grain warm against the cool tones above. Wide and grounded, this bowl commands the room the way the ridge commands the valley.
