Penny Leaf Bowl

[Dai Sensei]

A bowl I did a while back but forgot to post here. From a decent chunk of Penny Leaf (Dalbergia sissoo) also known as Indian Rosewood. The photos just can't do justice to this timber. It is browns and yellows, but the yellows are translucent giving an amazing chatoyance to the grain. It also had holes and a huge bark inclusion that I filled with brass powder. The bowl is sanded to 600 before applying a nitrocellulose satin lacquer finish. About 500mmd dia x 150mm deep.

I like the brass fill - it is a very attractive feature.

Very nice grain. The shape is excellent also. Don't stay away too long!!!
