bowl

Madrone, 5d x 4.25t I finished this little piece back in October. I guess it goes with that season and how I was feeling about the start of the hollidays.

Cedar, jute, brass, 9.5d x 3.375t I was unable to find cord of the diameter I desired, so I twisted my own from jute twine. The interesting fact here - it required 13 feet of twine to make the four strand cord circling this small piece.

Here is an ogee-shaped ash bowl, sandblasted, bleached and fluted to the max, in a staggered arrangement. The bowl measures 10 inches in diameter by about 2 inches tall. The more horizontal direction of the rim results in a more vertical oscillation of the flutes around the rim than previous...

I havent posted in a while, I have been trying some new ogee shapes and I must say some have not been very pleasing. I have difficulty finding the proper transition spot to make a pleasing curve. I think this one works well with the cherry grain. This piece of cherry had so many soft spalted and...

This ash bowl is about 10 inches in diameter and about 2 1/2 inches tall. Definitely not for your dinner salad. Beads (approx 5/8 inch) inside and out. Lightly sandblasted, dyed with orange aniline dye and treated with black patinating wax.

Another piece of amazing spalted Dogwood. This bowl is 4.125" w x 3.125" h. It has a Walnut base with a Swarovski crystal. You can see more detail shots on my site...

Fir root burl, 11-5/8" x 5-7/8"

6" wide by 5" tall. Handle/finial is ebonized walnut. Comments welcome.

Redwood Burl, 11"Dx3.25"T

This ash bowl has been fluted, bleached and sandblasted inside and out. Unlike the previous posting "Fluteus Maximus", this one has the flutes in a staggered fashion, alternating inside and outside to create an undulating pattern on the rim. The previous post had the flutes lined...

This ash bowl is a bit of a departure from the bleached series that I've recently posted. It is, however, a logical progression from one that I previously posted, 5245, with an off-center influence added. This bowl measures about 9 inches across. It has been gently sandblasted, dyed and treated...

Brazilian pepper burl, 12.5d x 4.75t You dont often find a piece of this species this large; at least not around here. The figure reminded me of marble so I decided to follow that thought.

This is another in the series of bleached ash bowls that I've been doing. This one has 24 flutes on the outside, none on the inside. Both sides have been sandblasted and bleached. It measures about 11 inches in diameter.

Redwood burl, 2.5x22.5x15.75 This is dedicated to Jerry Kermode, the talented woodturner who gave me this piece of burl.

Cherry bowl, 7"W x 2.5"H, turned very thin, and finished with Mineral Oil for daily use. A small bead foot cannot be seen in this photo. Would appreciate all comments - I would like to improve!

8.5 x 3 Pecan bowl with a small diameter tall foot.

Silver Maple, dye and acrylic paint. 12"x2.5"

This is another in the series of ash bowls that I've been working on. Named because I don't think it's possible to fit any more flutes on this 10 1/2 inch bowl. Fluted, sandblasted and bleached inside and out. Flutes arranged back to back for a ribbed effect.

This is an ash bowl which is about 10 1/4 inches in diameter. This one has been fluted, bleached and sandblasted both inside and out. Next one will have twice as many flutes both inside and out, lined up back to back..And I may get out the dyes, pigments and waxes
