The beauty of living in a well wooded 30 year old neighborhood that was developed in the 80’s is that you now have allot of Bradford Pear Trees beginning to split and are being removed and replaced. Again this is one bowl from a very mature tree from the neighborhood. The brown line is Bark enclusion.
As mentioned, this is the sister to #319. If you compare the two bowls there coloring is slightly different. This is from one side of the tree being exposed to harsher weather as the tree slowly died.
This bowl and #320 are sisters, or opposite sides of the same tree. They are about 16 inches in diameter and shallow. I remember being very excited about having them for sale in my booth and was wonderfully taken aback when a very nice lady came up and said “Hi, I will take them both”. They came from a tree that was removed from one of the medical buildings near the Glenridge Connector.
This is a nice Yoshin Cherry bowl that came from a neighbors tree. This bowl was given to the neighbor as a thank you for the wood.
This was my first attempt at a Mortor and Pestle.
As I was turning this bowl I stopped to check on my progress in the turning and became evident that the bark enclusions had become a Crane flying over a Quarter Moon. A couple from Chicago purchased this while visiting the Dunwoody Farmers Market
Spalted White Oak that has an elongated “Peublo” shape to it. Now located in Dunwoody.
I don’t know why these remind me of Peter Max, but they do. These are nice size bowls for various uses with interesting detail. Again the tree came from the neighborhood.
Again a bowl from the neighborhood Mimosa Tree. This though is a slice through the wood. the center of the bowl is the pith of the tree. Most bowls are either the left or right half of a tree without including the Pith. I think this looks allot like a Kidney.
One of my first “Pueblo” shaped bowls. Was a gift to someones parents.
