Here’s another carved bowl this one is carved from Siberian Elm.It sits about 18” tall and about 22” long.The turquise is inlayed in the natural cracks. This one is called “Forest Mussel”.

This is just gorgeous, Scott. I love the live edge and the grain of the this piece. And, as always, the inlay adds to the visual interest of the piece.
Thanks for sharing this piece.

Love it. Looks like a tremendous amount of labor, but totally worth it.

Beautiful and extraordinary form and workmanship! When you are doing the inlay, are you only filling in pre-existing voids and defects or do you also create new areas for inlay?

Most inlay is done in the natural cracks from the drying.I do open some cracks if I am afraid of the structure holding together.
