Absolutely fabulous work on the bowls and accessories. The bowls look flawless and even more important they are beautiful. I would sure like to know how you obtained that fantastic finish. Thanks for posting and a warm welcome to LJ. Hope to see a lot of projects from you.

Hi Jess The chop sticks were first cut on saw to+-5mm sq and then carved and sanded
the jacaranda stained black

Hi Stefang sorry should have added the finish in text catalyst base gloss varnish spared on about 4 coats

Thanks all for the welcomes and comments
Regards Roger

Very well done place settings…

The bowls are great…..I am not a fan of bowls with a foot like that, but in this case it just “works”. Gives a real Japanese feel to the piece. The colour is also a pleasant change that works well with this setting.

Very well done. .... “A tip of the Hat sir”
