A pair of emerging bowls produced from a Big Leaf Maple Burl. Both bowls measure 9"x9"x4.5". This piece started as a 9" cube, split in half, rejoined,and turned on 2 axes. Learned about this technique from Irwin Seidman. Very challenging and a true test of technique, equipment, and tooling. All turning done with the Ci1 Easy Rougher and Ci0 Easy Finisher carbide tools. Not a single catch... Whew! I used super strong double stick tape to keep the sections together as well as to hold them as a unit on the waste block. Lots of figure in these pieces including characteristic burl patterns, quilting, spalting, birdseye, insect trails, and natural edge with inclusions. Comments and critiques are always welcomed.
