Beyond Wood - Ray Allen

Beyond Wood... Portrait of an Artist
www.beyondwood.com
After 30 years in the construction industry, Ray Allen (1930-2000) retired in 1982. In 1986, Allen found his passion when he began turning simple pieces.
Ray's work can be found in many of the finest private collections of contemporary woodturning as well as the permanent collections of the Contemporary Museum, Honolulu, HI, the Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit, MI, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, CA and the Renwick Gallery, Smithsonian Museum of American Art, Washington, DC.
Produced on location by Bernard Blain and narrated by Ray Leier, noted expert in the field of contemporary wood art, this video provides an in-depth look at the work and passion of Ray Allen.

I watch my dad create all my it is truly amazing. Even now I wish I could pick his brain on how he did this. Vicki Allen daughter.

Jaw-dropping. To witness a true Master's work, is awe-inspiring. Words cannot describe how it makes me feel inside, to see something so amazing. I feel like it would take me a hundred life-times to achieve this level of mastery.

[@Zierch]

i´ve never seen works so beautifull, is amazing, everyone loves to use wood, but this work goes so far away, maybe in future an archeological expedition find this works, and then they watching with mouth wide open (just like me) they will think that last mankind were such a genial artist

Hi Ray Love your work. I have tried to mimic a segmented bowl but when I cut my 15 degree (or 75 degree) angle I have gaps in my 12 piece circles can you help me???? thank you

[@lisabarreras]

Based on the description of the video, I believe he died in 2000.

[@cindylabs]

Stupendous!!!

[@Doyledidit]

He truly was great

[@kris2435]

Speechless

[@isleyetais]

which angle do you use to make this circle?

[@justinahrens1868]

Divide 180 by the number of segments. I.e. 180/16 = 11.25 degrees.

[@musamor75]

Justin Ahrens Please don’t bother answering such an idiotic question. These “people”don’t deserve to watch something so precious; it’s lost on them.

[@ralphbarnwell3109]

Would have been better to see him build and complete a project instead of watching a promo for selling his DVD. Too bad.

[@melindafrench2880]
