Cherry Bowl

This is a Cherry bowl with a couple woodburned cherries in it. My first real shot at woodburning - at least I learned a lot. It's about 10" dia. and finished with Tung oil and Beall buffed. Coloring was done with Tombow Dual brush markers. Thanks for looking and all comments welcome, Don L.

Nice. That will make a nice bowl for the cherry season coming up.

I have some green cherry in the shop I'm working my way through. Kind of fun stuff to work with.

Live long, love lots, and turn fast.

Really nice work especialy the grain surounding the cherrys. Did you burn in the spirals or use one of then sorby tools?

Nice bit of texturing on the rim. How did you do the two different textures so close together?

Thanks so much guys! Appreciate the kind words.

The texturing was done with a Sorby texturing tool. I just pointed it in both directions and it gave that in-and-out pattern. I just got them as close together as I could.

Thanks for asking, Don L.

Have you contacted the chisel folks? They may need an advertising bowl :-) :-) Doesn't look like a first

As always Don, a materpiece. For someone that is colour blind, you make some awesome decisions on colour.

Ruining lots of good wood to get a few average bits.
