Red BURL

Project by trifern posted 600 days ago 385 views 1 time favorited 10 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This was turned from a piece of red maple burl. It is 5 1/2” tall by 6 1/2” wide. It is finished with wipe on poly. The burl did not have a lot of eyes but it does have nice figuring and color.

Trifern,

This is a beautiful bowl. The coloring and grain pattern is gorgeous.

Thanks for the post.

A lady told me that Michaelangelo once said that every sculpture is already there – when the excess material is removed the art can be seen. The artist is the one who knows what bits to get rid of.

You kept all the right bits.

That is one of the prettiest maple burl bowls I have ever seen or made. You have really done the burl and grain justice with your skill. mike
