Notes: Moulthrop was a self-taught wood worker and turner who often worked on a monumental scale which required specially made tools of his own design. A trained architect - he received his MA from Princeton University, taught at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and worked for a national architecture firm - he brought aspects of this discipline to his work with wood. These resultant architectonic vessels were composed of wood native to the Southeastern region where he lived and were usually coated with polyethylene glycol, which produced a smooth, glassy surface. Moulthrop's son and grandson are also established wood turners.

Generally very good condition. Could detect no damage or repairs.
