    Rose engine bowl - 6/36 rosette, alternating patterns with ornamented rim

    I made this bowl on my MDF Rose Engine out of sapele. It is about 4" across, and was an experiment to see how much I could alter the shape of the bowl simply by cutting the rim.

    Or is it :-D

    Think I'll trick anybody? I've read the posts about the toothpick holder article in Wood Magazine. Unfortunately when I went to the bookstore I couldn't find the magazine, so I had to wing it. It was fun to figure it out on my own...I like a challenge. The plug/stem/lid is all one piece.
