Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Timothy Ramel

Exhibition grade exotic and domestic woods are laminated, laser aligned and bored from each end, forming two interior air chambers within the flute. Exacting concert tuning is achieved within a unique, climate controlled environment at precisely 72 degrees F. The exterior is shaped by a combination of lathe turning and extensive hand sanding. The finish is applied in eight layers of sprayed, pre- catalyzed lacquer, wet sanded between each coat and finally hand buffed and polished to a warm, natural glow. Embellishments of each flute are created from Sterling Silver, Gold and stone work, combining and melding multiple forms, techniques, textures and finishes to further the evolution of the art form.
