Harold Dykes

Harold Dykes began working with wood as a hobby in 1970 while living in San Antonio. He became very interested in building guitars and built several between the years of 1975 and 1988.

He and his wife, Emma, moved to Boerne in 1989 and he continued to build guitars but, also became interested in wood turning and working on a lathe. He began with small, simple pieces such as pens and bowls. Looking for a greater challenge, he began designing and turning segmented vases and bowls. Harold loves the challenge of designing these special vessels.

Today, almost all of Harold’s bowls are segmented with various designs. He is constantly working on new designs and patterns in his bowls and vases. He uses many different species and colors of wood. Sometimes he mixes wood with man made materials to achieve the patterns and color schemes desired.

Harold’s finely turned segmented vessels may be seen at Artisans at Rocky Hill in Fredericksburg, Texas.

Anna Rachinsky

I was born and raised in Munich, Germany. As a high school student, I loved to spend time in the school’s pottery studio and in Munich’s art museums and was considering a career as a potter or goldsmith. But when the decision came to go to college, my interest in science won over my interest in art. After working for over 20 years as a research scientist and college biology teacher in Germany, France, Canada and the US, I only started to turn wood after moving to Kerrville in 2006. It is all Andy’s fault! One of my colleagues, an accomplished wood turner, took me to a meeting of the Hill Country Turners … and
that was the beginning of an addiction to wood turning and many ‘scientific discoveries’ – you never know exactly what‘s inside a piece of wood until it is rough turned or hollowed.

I like to work with local woods: mesquite, ligustrum, cedar elm, juniper, jujube,
acacia, mountain laurel and escarpment cherry. ‘Imperfections’ like spalting, burls or insect holes contribute to the character and beauty of a piece and often determine its final shape. One of my favorite woods is spalted box elder with its delicate color patterns in vivid red, orange, grey and black. I like to experiment with different shapes and styles. Most of my pieces are small, from tiny miniatures to 6 inches in diameter.
