Wayne Anaka writes; Trees have living spirits. Having restored antique furniture and chairs for many years my passion for wood has renewed interests by way of the arts. From hand carving burls to turning bowls and platters I have designed many one of a kind pieces, my latest being Holly-cones and parquetry inlaid coloured platters. Like our native Indian people I strongly believe trees have living spirits. When working with highly figured woods, many different unexpected images appear. I try to bring out their hidden beauty. Where knots fell out, marbles are carefully chosen to replace it. I have been accepted and sold pieces in the Sidney Fine Arts Show for the last three consecutive years. The Wood-turners Guild has encouraged me by the many world class turners we bring in for demonstrations. My ambitions remain high, as are my standards for what I produce. Public response is of the utmost importance to me. My work and great love for it makes it much easier for me to produce pleasing, one of a kind works of art for all to enjoy.
