"They are wood burned with a pyrography tool and embellished with acrylic paint. The results are single pieces of wood that appear to be woven beaded baskets."

"Growing up with a logging and road construction background, Toweill first used a wood lathe in a high school wood shop in the early 1960s but never used one again until he bought an old one in the 1990s. And I replaced it with a new model in 2000.

Upon retirement (he worked as an electrical engineer for Pacific Power and Light until 1992, then taught mathematics and business courses at various colleges as an adjunct faculty member until 2013), Toweill immersed himself full-time into woodworking art. He displays his work in various retail art galleries, festivals, shows, and other sales events. He has shown his art twice at the American Association of Woodturners national symposiums." less
