Myrtle bowl with some birds eye burl
« on: September 21, 2012, 03:46:44 AM »
Tasmanian Myrtle with some birds eye burl [ burr] 7.5x3.5 satin finish. A simple form, this wood very pretty and too much decoration would take away from the colour.

Hughie,

That is a very attractive piece of wood. The satin finish works well on it.

And it is nice to see you turn a simple shape once in a while.
Oh Lord, Lead me not into temptation…

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

All your kind words are much appreciated, thanks.

This bowl is destined for the USA for the Beads of Courage charity. It will by then have a a lid of some sorts and its for some child with cancer to thier beads of courage in.
