Absolutely no colour, lol
« on: November 10, 2016, 10:38:05 PM »
Hi all, not been on for a wee while so here is my latest offering that was done tonight (only one coat of oil so far).
A small natural edged burr elm bowl, 7.5" x 3". It has a very slight Ogee at the rim and a rounded bottom to make it a wee bit different.
C & C's welcome.

Rgds  Gary

No colour, I beg to differ, nature supplied you with plenty on this piece of timber.
Oh Lord, Lead me not into temptation…

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