Morphed and Nested
These 3 nested Arbutus Burl bowls are the cores from my previous post. These bowls were all green turned and wet sanded within a few days of being harvested. They are all about ¼” thick and have 3 carved feet so they will sit flat after they morph. Finished with 2 coats of tung oil. This process takes about 3 weeks from start to finish. The movement and resulting textures in this wood as it dries is amazing, its hard to imagine it was perfectly round and smooth off the lathe.
Very nice job. I find that sometimes it's hard to get myself out of the way, and let nature do what it wants to do. These are very beautiful.
