Maple Eccentric Blue Bowl

This another look I tried for the eccentric bowls I've been messing with. The chatoyance of the maple shows up a little in the photo, but in person it even shines through the blue quite well. This one is the biggest so far at 13" dia. X 3" tall. Finished with Tung Oil and Beall buffed. Thanks for looking and all comments welcome, Don L.

don, if i could give it a 12 i would! the colors blend nicely together, and the dark circles really set it off. may i ask, how to you seperate the colors without them wanting to blend together?(especially around the edge)

Thanks Dave!

Brian - The blue is dye, the black and orange are markers. I believe they're called Dual Brush Markers by Tombow. They're very good two ended markers that almost never bleed. Highest rating.
Thanks so much for the comments, Don L.

I like the eccentric road you are traveling. You may start to be known as the "eccentric guy" :-) :-)

Don, I've really been enjoying your postings of late. Your movement to the use of color, off center, wood burning and texturing have provided us all with something a bit different and each have been a great addition to your porfolio. Wondedrful stuff...Bill...

Very nice. Your work, the colors, the wood, all working together to make a lovely piece. I'm not sure I ever saw your reply on an earlier pic, are you using an eccentric chuck or screw chuck in different locations?

Hi Rev! Yea, I use a screw chuck in different places. They're petty close together. Only about 1" to 1-1/4" from the center hole on average.
Thanks for the kind comments, Don L.
