Monkeypuzzle bowl
« on: April 12, 2016, 11:07:55 AM »
This is a relatively large bowl from monkeypuzzle, about 14" diameter and 4" high. The outside was coloured with spirit stains and finished with several coats of wipe-on poly, the inside is currently untreated, but I will probably put some coats of lemon oil on.
All C&C welcome.

Fuzzy, you caught me out with this one, I expected to see a standard 5 knot monkey puzzle bowl or similar, certainly not a coloured bowl.

The red & Black certainly work well together. Although I think the ogee of the shape could have been a little more swept, it looks just a little upright at the rim.
Oh Lord, Lead me not into temptation…

...Oh who am I kidding, follow me, I know a shortcut!

Not what I was expecting!  The shape and colouring are not really to my taste but clearly very well turned and finished.
