 Woodworking Artist Johnny {J W} Morlan Personal Quotes* "Just because a woodworker makes an object from a beautiful figured piece of wood does not make them a woodworking artist or the piece a work of art. Nature created the wood, not them! True wood art has intricateness!" Johnny W Morlan |

Facts About Wood & Trees 2* The tree specie with the largest undivided leaves is the Bigleaf Magnolia {Magnolia macrophylla}. The leaves are 7 to 12 inches wide and 12 to 32 inches long. * In an article written in 2004 and featured in the weekly magazine Nature, it states that theoretically, the tallest possible height that any tree could obtain is 400-425 foot. This is because of gravity and the friction between water and the vessels of the tree through which it flows. |

Facts About Wood & Trees 1There are two types of trees that it is impossible to tell how old they are by counting their growth rings. Trees produce growth rings because of the distinguishable temperature changes that occur over a yearly cycle causing their growth to slow down and speed up. Trees in certain tropical regions that have a consistent year round climate where growth is ongoing do not form pronounced growth rings. Trees that are endogenous, the majorities of which is some specie of Palm tree {monocotyledons}, which grow by adding new material inwards, do not produce growth rings. |

Story: What Started Me Wood Collecting?I had been working in a lumberyard and hardware store for about a year, it was 1983. One day I went out to the lumberyard part to snoop around. I went way back into one of the lumber storage buildings and found a large pile covered with a dirty old canvas. When I removed the canvas, I found a bunch of old, dirty and dusty lumber. |

Artist Statement My focus is on remaining environmentally conscientious while creating and handcrafting beautiful yet functional unique limited edition or one of a kind wood items that can be shown proudly, provide the possessor with a conversation piece, many compliments, countless years of service, enjoyment, pleasure and be an heirloom that will increase in value as the years and decades pass. All of my pieces are signed, dated and numbered {small items on the certificate} and comes with wood data, a brief artists profile, Certificate of Genuineness and an elegant folder to hold and keep your documents safe. If given as a gift, pricing includes up to 4 special lines of wording of your choice added to the certificate! The date may correspond with the special occasion Christmas, Anniversary, Birthday and etcetera. All my heart & soul goes into each piece! The wood for each and every one of my creations, is always selected for its grain, figure patterns {reading the wood} color, and how much it moves {expands and contracts} with temperature & humidity changes. No two pieces of wood will ever be identical! The wood is left natural, I use no dyes, stains, paints or wood fillers. There are numerous techniques and finishes for finishing wood, a true wood artist develops their own techniques and finish to bring out the beauty of their works. My technique for finishing wood {small pieces that are not handled or used a lot} is not to fill the pores, thus showcasing the intricacy of my designs and the natural character, distinction and depth of the wood making each piece one of a kind, just like your own fingerprint does for you.
