Dave Appleby (UK) yew natural edge bowl 17x32cm. SignedMy recollections of Ray start from 2003 when I first started going to the AWGB International Seminars at Loughborough and he critiqued my piece from the Instant Gallery, with some encouraging words. He also inspired me at a demonstration when he made his Pagoda Boxes with great finesse. Ultimately this gave me the confidence to become a Registered Professional Turner in 2004This natural edged Yew had a piece missing from the side. While turning the roughed out bowl to its finished shape and thickness I thought about Ray and the fact that there is now a big piece missing out of the woodturning world since his passing.The Ray Key Collaboration Auction
