This past Sept. my Mom came out to visit. Our Birthdays are pretty close together so we celebrated together. My gift to here was whatever bowl she wanted. this is the one she picked and as a special little touch I numbered it out of sequence at 777 so that it might also bring her a bit of luck as a bonus….she used up alot of luck raising me…..
Another aged Maple bowl in a semi enclosed form. This piece of wood as well as the next and previous came from a tree in Alpharetta
Another semi enclosed form Box Elder Bowl
My oldest and best friends purchased this for their Mother. Esty, I truly hope you enjoy this bowl as much as I enjoyed learning it would grace your home.
This is the sister bowl of 672. There are similarities and also differences, depending on what side spent more time on the ground.
Every year I always lay some freshly cut maple aside to sit and age. Every year I find Mother Nature comes up with new ways of aging the wood. The contrasts and colors are never the same year to year.
Here are two small Bradford Pear bowls that I hand carved and burned. The closest one I call Fang and I hope Kay’s friend really likes it.
This box elder has more of a closed form shape and even a hint of Southwestern appeal.
Box Elder Beauty
This Bowl is aged Bradford Pear. This 17 in Dia. salad bowl has a very nice decorative edge.
