Linda Campbell - Fatwood Art

As a hobby, I enjoy collecting, processing and using fatwood as my main wood of choice on the lathe! Unlike other wood, it's filled with resin. You never know what design or color you'll get. And that's part of the thrill of fatwood like hunting for treasure. Every fatwood lover wants to find the darkest, richest stickiest piece of amber colored fatwood. Making art with fatwood goes a step further than just finding it, processing it, and having chunks of collected fatwood laying around in piles wondering what's inside. By bringing out the unique beauty of the resin with it's swirls, designs and patterns of what looks like rotten, no good wood, woodturning fatwood on a lathe preserves it's colors so we can forever see it ~a beautiful piece of art!

Because fatwood has resin in it, Light can be used to shine through it.
