Betty Scarpino (USA) Spalted beech carved egg on plinth 13x10cm. SignedIt seemed that Ray Key was a bigger-than-life woodturner, so I was quite excited when he traveled to Indianapolis many, many years ago, to demonstrate for our local woodturning club. I looked forward to his visit, to learn new skills from his demonstration. I was not disappointed! He was an excellent craftsman, maker, and demonstrator. Throughout the years when I also began demonstrating, our paths would cross, always an enjoyable encounter. At one point, with mutual admiration for each other’s work, we traded pieces. I still enjoy looking at his exquisite little box.My woodturning has evolved to include carving and painting, so when I thought about what to make out of the little piece of spalted beech, I wanted to honor Ray’s craftsmanship and style, yet add my own influence. An egg shape with a carved ribbon seemed to encompass both Ray’s aesthetic, as well as my approach to artmaking. The pedestal presents the egg in a way that I think Ray would appreciate. I would definitely put Ray on a pedestal for all that he’s shared with woodturners worldwide.The Ray Key Collaboration Auction
