This is a piece of turned catalpa. It was cut, carved and sanded. It is finished with yellow leather dye, green leather dye, lacquer, and Briwax. Not your normal functional bowl. What do you think?

looks like the start to a closed Rose. You could turn and carve the petals next and attach it to this piece (the leaves). Then turn a stem. That would be the first “turned” rose I’ve seen. Looks pretty cool

Tip of the spear… you are really going out there. Nice looking piece…. I’m wondering what kind of Yellow small bowl would fit inside of it?

Wow Trifern, you’re a turnin’ machine! That looks great. Maybe you could use it for a centerpiece on a table and put one of those small candles in a shot glass in the center and some type of contrasting flower arrangement around it. Just a thought.

Wow, Joe you are taking an entirely new direction with this piece. It has a very intriguing design and I really like the color depth and appearance. Well done!!

To tell the truth I think that a display case should be on your project list. I am not sure what you are doing with all these pieces but they should be displayed in some fashion.

You are truly an inspiration!!!!

Thanks for all the nice comments. I really appreciate them all. I recently purchased the Trent Bosch carving stand. It is an awesome tool. More carving of turned pieces coming soon.

It almost looks like it’s made of malachite. Quite interesting.

Bowls don,t need to function when they are as interestingly shaped as that. Love the non traditional colours you use.
