sandblast

This ash piece is a bit of a departure for me, in that it's only about 2 inches tall. Was initially thinking of using it as a knob for a lid on a much larger container, but I decided otherwise. It lay around for awhile and I decided to hollow, sandblast, dye and wax it.

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...

This is an ash vessel, which has been turned, hollowed, fluted, sandblasted, and of course, dyed. It measures about 8 1/2 inches tall. It is a variation of a previous piece, 5216.

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 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.

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 has been bleached inside and out, and the outside fluted and sandblasted. It's about 11 inches in diameter. Next--probably drop all pretense of functionality and flute and/or sandblast the interior too!

This is an ash bowl which measures about 10 1/2 inches in diameter. The outside has been fluted and lightly bleached and sandblasted while the inside has been left pristine.

This is an ash hollow form which has been bleached and sandblasted. About 10 1/2 inches tall.

This is an ash vase which has been fluted, sandblasted, and bleached. It is about 9 inches tall.

Lately I've been using this simple vase form to try out the effect of various embellishments such as the spacing of flutes, dyeing, bleaching, sandblasting, liming etc. These are all ash and are about 10 inches tall.
