I just thought I would share this little “in between projects” project. The plate/bowl is made from Birch and measures 9” diameter.
I used some NGR tints to accentuate the different areas – then a liberal coating of Finishing oil to “pop” that grain and finally polished out with the “Beal system”
Different parts of the relief was carved throughout the finishing process, to give subtle, but slight changes in the colors.

Very cool. I’m assuming this was turned initially? I really like the concept.

Who ate the other half of my Lusikkaleivat?
...Just kidding.
Nice job – outside the box too!

Bob – I ate the other half of the cookie.
Blake – The plate was turned, then the lower half of the sun was removed with normal chisels, before eating.
Next time, I think I will make the water ripples a little thinner and more subtle, but I do not know if I will find another piece with the flame effect of this one!

this is amazing!!
1) good eye to “see” the possibilities and
2) to actually create this.
Impressive

Missed this one, WOW! Great ART! A hearty hand shake on that one. Very original and beautiful. Really bringing out the mysteries around us and opening us up to test new possibilities.
