Spalted Bradford pear bowl
« on: November 27, 2016, 09:21:20 pm »
Found the 2nd piece of Bradford pear from ridgerunner hiding in a corner. And since nothing else was chucked up in the lathe I went with it. What a surprised I got when the finish was applied!







God Bless!

WOW!  That is Nice!

Will see if I can dig up some other odd-ball hunk of firewood for you.

Thanks

I was hoping you'd see it. This bowl turned out so much nicer than the other I was floored. I really like the way the line of spalted wood plays back and forth with solid wood (inside of bowl bottom.) Never ceases to amaze me the beauty that we can find in the natural.

Thanks for the compliments folks.
