Tiled Salad Bowl ... Mistake ???

I think it looks very good Odie.

You just need to make one the other way and let everyone compare.

I see no mistakes here. I just see a well designed bowl with an interesting visual appeal. To tell the truth if you had not pointed out your “goof” I doubt that it would have even been noticed.

Nice job, Odie.

Fill that sucker with lettuce and carrots and no one will ever know the difference!!

Beautiful Job, Odie!

I think the bowl wanted to be that way, and it looks fabulous, Nice Job!

It’s the best mistake you’ve ever made …. I’m back ….

If you hadn’t told us we would never have thought of it as a mistake, only a really great bowl with great symmetry and contrast. Make the same bowl as originally intended and the public will probably split 50-50 on which one they prefer.

Nothing wrong with that one Odie. Well done.

No you did it right. Your mistake was in thinking you where wrong. You where wrong…right? In any case it is a beautiful piece.

It worries me slightly that the Unknown Woodworker has returned…suffering a fugue state, Odie?

I think Dennis has it right. It’s a great bowl.

Looks great. I hardly consider that a mistake worth getting worked up over. :-)

OK, OK, I don’t really consider it a REAL mistake. To be honest I just like the phrase, “They’re not mistakes … they’re creative opportunities”.
