The Shield Series
The Shield Series is a group of burl turnings that Steve creates that are either designed to be hung on the wall or displayed with a hand-crafted stand. Each shield is named and bears a unique design. Many of the names are based on a biblical scripture or have a reference from the Bible. Steve envisions the warrior giving praise and glory to God who kept him safe throughout the battle.
