Bradford Bag-o-Sand

Bradford Pear turned into a bag of sand form. I really enjoy these curves and form, as it's essentially an extended and exaggerated calabash with an outflowing rim (picture the top half of this removed). I chose a natural edge orientation because it includes a nice color contrast and it adds some more curves to the rim. I textured the exterior and interior with a rotary tool (Dremel). The interior proved very challenging, especially on the floor. My fist was small enough to fit into the hollow, so I did have some access. Barely! 7.5"h x 7.5"d.
Here are a couple of alternate views, showing the vessel head on, as well as the textured interior. Forgive the many burn marks on the interior, as it's the best I could manage with my current tools.

That’s a great piece Michael; your original picture is my favorite view, nice choice. Your texturing is well done, a nicely random texture. Doing the inside was novel and likely nice to see when it’s being held! Outstanding piece!
