Sycamore bowl

Hi all
This rippled sycamore bowl with cut outs and sphere is one of a series I made a while ago called 'Fudochi' . Can't remember if I posted it before' it is around 200mm dia, thin at the rim and then thickens to allow for the carving I have started making some of these again so once finished will post.
Thanks for looking, comments as every welcome.

Think I have seen this before somewhere, like it then and like it now. Every time I see one from this series I see something different.

It is rather lovely, isn't it! Does the sphere fit through the hole? If it doesn't, I can't imagine how you got it into the bowl

I like it.

I have learnt the first rule of woodturning.
The internal diameter should never exceed the external width.
Nor the internal depth, the external height.
Does that make me an expert now ?

Hi Mark, I like this one because you showed us how it was done during a Demo Day with George a year or so ago at Burnham. Do hope you don't mind me posting the demo picture. Julian

Hi Julian
Good to hear from you, no problem, the process is a simple one, although I have a nice new Micro motor now instead of the noisy Dremel I had then.

They are both very nice Mark. For some reason though the second one appeals .... Perhaps its the
light reflecting on the black to create different hues.

I also prefer the 2nd. Partly the colouring works better for me and also, though it may sound odd, because the thickness and the rounded edges give it a much more tactile, softer look in my eyes. Beauty in the eye of the beholder probably?

Thank you all.
I too prefer the 2nd one not only due to the thickness but for these pieces this form for me works better.
off to make some shavings.

I also like the second one more than the first. The shape of second one is a little more pleasing to the eye for me. The colour also helps to take it to a higher level. Lovely work Mark. Les

As always exceedingly nice work. Regarding the cut out part, do you have a reason for cutting out a certain part of the bowl? is it just for aesethtics?or are you removing a blemish?
