Coriaceous Wave

This bowl is another in my "Wave bowl" series. The title relates to the rugged leathery effect caused by the pyrography texture. The bowl is turned to a 2mm wall thickness, sanded and then the pattern is marked out ready for enhancement. Diameter 5.5 inches and 2.5 inches high. Satin lacquer finish.

@Greg Just Thank you Greg. The colour and leather effect in this piece is all natural from the pyrography. I used quite a low heat as the piece is only 2mm and I didn’t want to mark through to the inside and this was the result.

the finish tenon sets it off.....i assume maple or sycamore?

Thanks John. I tried to post a pic of inside of the bowl but it won’t let me (I’m not to great with technology). It is plain inside and finished with satin lacquer. If you use Facebook I have an inside shot on my profile, feel free to have a look there
