Ash bowl

I love the color and pyrography and the texture it gives. Beautiful. What are you using for stain? Awesome.

Interesting and pretty Atle.

Atle-

Your piece. Do you have it sitting on three small feet? Looks like one is showing in the picture. Nice work and I like the way you did the colors on the piece.

I like this piece very much, great work and thank you for sharing.

Thanks guys.
Bernie, I have used spirit stains from Chestnut. Yes Gary it is sitting on tree small feet.

Atle,

The shape is great, it invites me to look inside. I love the color treatment. At first I thought it was colorwood or diamondwood pre-colored plywood. Did you have to protect the border or margin between each growth ring? If so how did you do it. My limited use of spirit or alcohol die is that it bleeds a lot, wicking often quite far, intermixing the colors. Does the Chestnut spirit stain behave the same way? Did you brush or spray (airbrush) the stain? Did you pre-seal the ash before the stain application? Sorry for so many questions. You have achieved a color treatment I have tried with less success.

Thanks for putting your piece out there for us to share.

Hi Larry, I usa a small brush and the open grain of the ash makes it possible to keep the colours separated because the open grain drain the excess color.
