Joshua Bradley- Wichita Falls - Young native Texan, Joshua, exercises a unique style of wood turning in creating his fine bowls, vases, and urns.  Most designs start with a sketch or idea, and a pattern is worked out on paper.  Then using either domestic and /or imported hardwoods and a process called "segmented turning," each creation begins by gluing many pieces of wood together to make a block, which is then turned on a lathe.  It often takes several weeks to complete each piece.  There are no paints, stains or color additives added to the wood, and the finished colors are that of the natural wood.
