London Plane Bowl part 2

[Derek]

A second bowl from my London Plane stock, the grain on the blank was fantastic so I kept that on the flat rim otherwise, I would have lost it.  It also was fading away on one side so I put that where the thinner part of the rim is. two burnt lines to highlight the rim and the bowl edge. I also added some burnt lines to the base as it was quite large because of the off entre bowl did not want it to tip.

Finished with sander sealer and then buffed with carnauba wax and then another polish with woodwax22. Measures 8 1/2" X 2 1/4"

C & C welcome

Most of the time I prefer a bead as you have done here but feel that it is unnecessary on this with that grain. Personal choice.

Thank you Pete for your comments.

 I like that, makes a good show of great grain.

Can't quite decide from the picture, is the rim flat or a slight dish?

The rim is flat

I have always liked London Plane although I see much down here and  rarely is it turned. Well done, you have made the most of the grain with the flat rim.

Derek,

the lace in the grain just pops out of this, great work.

Thank you Hughie and Bryan.

Yes the grain was spectacular glad I turned it the way I did
