Morton "Dale" Chase, (1934-2007), grew up in Michigan until his family moved to the San Francisco area at age 11. He graduated from UC Medical School and became a vascular surgeon for 32 years before retiring. After acquiring a Holtzapffel lathe in 1972, he began creating wood bowls and boxes with engraved ornamental designs. As his skills continued to develop, he grew from traditional index ornamenting to the less common (at that time) rose engine work.

His work survives in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Honolulu Museum of Art, Yale University Museum of Art, Museum for Art in Wood, and several others, as well as in personal collections on all continents.
