Bowls 499 & 500 Spalted Maple

These two bowls are in many ways “Sisters”

I refer to any bowl that are turned from either side of a trunk as sisters, however these sisters are very special. A customer from the market asked if I could make a couple of bowls for her business partner. Turns out the partner lives in Italy and has two daughters getting married. Ah, the perfect challenge! I also consider it to be the perfect pair to end the season and achieve the 500th mark.

I truely hope the Sisters enjoy the Sisters for a very very long time!

Below is a series of photos of how the sisters came to be.

1. This is the section of log used to make the two bowls.

2. The log is split in half, each side will yield one bowl

3. One of the two bowls is now rough turned.

4. Both bowls are in the middle of the sanding process.
