Title: Old Oak Bowl
Post by: georg on June 14, 2019, 04:15:47 PM: Old Oak Bowl ..... We tried to create a rustic old bowl , with an old cable ring. It has been left with a lot of marks to
signify old age turning. Its 12"x4" and finished in Danish oil.

As Always Comments Are Most Welcome
Kind Regards

Great to see you posting again. Love this bowl but more than that, the rope effect around the rim really works well with the overall effect you've created.

I like the way it appears to be holding the bowl from splitting down from the rim. It gives the piece a lot of character which lifts it above the usual burr bowl.

I'll make better job. :)
