Lighted Bowl #2

Very nice. Could you share some techniques or comments on your work?

I’m afraid I don’t have a lot to add about this one, mmh. Technically, the turning is pretty straightforward: turned on a faceplate and finished on the lathe with oil and varnish. The epoxy part I’ll leave to you to figure out. In terms of form and design, I chose a wood with a lot of organic texture to counterpoint the smooth translucency of the epoxy, and then I chose a very simple form that would not compete with the other design elements.

Best,

Man, oh man, that is pretty. You did a fine job on this.

Very nice platter, another unique pattern you’ve designed. Two different looks depending on where you are standing. Very neat.

wow, great piece! whats up with the epoxy, did you fill a couple wedge sections?... was it damaged wood or by design? and the darker sections below the epoxy??? please clear it up for me before I scratch a hole in my head. craven

-- let the chips fly!

I’m not going to give it all away, but I’ll tell you craven that I cut into a perfectly healthy block of wood and filled the cavity with epoxy. The darker sections are only places where the epoxy doesn’t go all the way through the wall of the bowl.

Dusty, rikkor, mike, min, and craven, thank you all very much. I appreciate your kind words.
