Well that worked out really well. It always amazes me how the colour black makes a piece pop. Great job

[@CASWoodcraft]

I was a little surprised, too. I use black on tables and charcuterie boards but not usually on bowls.

[@athenaweber4517]

Oh my god! It’s stunning! It turned out exactly how I thought it would! Your work is amazing!

[@CASWoodcraft]

The contours in the burl are amazing. Just wanna stare at them all day. The piece came together nicely!!

[@CASWoodcraft]

thanks!

I like it. But I like voice insted of just turning and hollowing.

[@Reziac]

Wow. That is just bloody astonishing, inside and out. Bravo!! And now I'm wondering what effect might result from using all those multicolored shavings in clear epoxy. Same colors but transparent base material. And that flat piece cut off the end might make a nice matching plate (or lid).

[@CASWoodcraft]

Thanks. I've done a few pieces with wood shavings in clear resin, but haven't been super excited about the results yet.

[@Reziac]

@@CASWoodcraft Might need a different ratio than the obvious. Or need to be way thinner. I don't know, just tossing ideas!

Очень красиво! Но почему не сделал крышку? Ведь остался кусок....

[@joelbernard5453]

This is nice, but I think you might have turned off more of the outside resin to get a larger proportion of exposed wood grain. The burl exposure inside the bowl shows more possibilities.

[@CASWoodcraft]

you might be right!
