I made this project during an IRD to help me in the kitchen now that Fall is here, and I'll be spending more time creating my favorite dishes.
The pestle is made from figured maple, and I'm not sure about the mortar, although it does have beautiful fiddleback and chatoyancy.
Bowl turned from Koa about 7"x 2 1/2". One of themost beautiful bowl blanks I ever turned. Blank came from Emiliano Achaval who made a shop visit from Maui and we carpooled to the Chattanooga symposium! Thanks, Emiliano!
I was going for the Art Deco look when I created this footed bowl. There are six ginkgo leaves wrapping around the bowl with the base of each leaf forming a foot. The wood is southern magnolia and the finishes are wipe on poly and artist acrylic paints. It is 9.5" in diameter and 4.25" tall.
11" dia Redgum bowl. The beads are burnt and ebonized. I didn't sand the bottom, just a little wire brushing left the tool marks and texture from the scorching as texture. Close up of base in next pic.
Just a very thin bowl turned in poplar. About 8 inches in diameter and 3.5 - 4 inches tall. Finished in Danish oil and Beall Buffing System. Who knew that Poplar can be so pretty. I love this one.
Not sure if this is "crotch" or not. It's my last piece of this wood. It was not identified when I got it. My best guess is Butternut??? Finished with Tried and True Danish Oil and Beall Buffing.
Spalted Maple. I'm attempting to focus on simple. Shape and finish. Been watching some youtube videos on Japanese and British ceramics. Only finish is Beal Buffing system. Did have some problems with tear out.
From a crotch of an oak (probably scrub oak) that was burn damaged in the 2017 tubbs fire - then allow to try to grow for 4 years before finally being felled in 2021 as it was never going to recover- parts of this were alive while parts were rotting and other parts are scorched (8" x 3-1/4"...
12 inch wide butternut (I'm pretty sure it's butternut, but I could be wrong) with embellishment with dye and gilding wax. Finished in Danish oil and carnauba wax.
