Carob Natural edge with burnt textured rim.

[vick]

I usually do not double post and post my pens here and my bowls and other work on Sawmill creek but I could not resist on this one.

The bowl is end grain Carob and is about 11.5 inches across at the widest point and about 7 inches across on the narrowest point. The barl fell off so I used a pyrography pen to burn a stipple pattern on the rim.

Comments and critiques are appreciated.

Holy smokes! Now I am really having feelings of inadequacy!! [}][]

Very nice. I am going to have to start looking at Sawmill creek as well...

Nice job, I have not had the guts to hit a bowl with a torch yet.

Mike, that is real nice. Where did you find the carob wood? Tim

Thanks everyone

Doghouse - Me neither I use a pyrography pen, a blow torch scares me.

Tim - Steve Dunn out of California comes to our turning club a couple tiems a year with a trailer full of wood for sale. I got this Carob from him but it is pretty plentiful around here as well.

Looks sweet Mike. Great use of that blank.
I never saw that one in process, being end grain I bet it dried pretty quick.

Worthy of a double post, very nice Mike.
Glad someone is getting use out of the woodburner []

You are making it tough. I've convinced myself to stick
to pens and an accasional "fish bonker" for the fishing
boat, then you show off this beauty and I get the urge to
branch out. Very nice work.

It looks like stuff will fall out of that big hole on the side.[] Just kidding. It is a freaking beautiful bowl. It looks as good or better than the stuff I saw at the show this weekend. By the way, it was nice to meet you Mike. I was in the segmenting class. I wish there were some pen classes there. The only pens I saw were from Anthony in the display room. He probably had to wipe my drool off of them.[:I]
