Shallow bowl of Box Elder, 10.5″ x 2″, Licthenberg figure aournd the outside.
Box Elder is known for having a firey red flame pattern in some woods. It is thought to be due to some sort of stress that causes the wood to change color. This piece only has the tiniest little bit of flame color – so small thatyou can’t even see it in the photos.
I just love the figure that you sometimes find in Cottonwood. I decided to use some dye on this piece to bring out that figure. The result has hints of green, yellow, blue and red, and really highlights the figure in the grain on one half of this bowl.
Walnut bowl, about 11″ diameter, with Lichtenberg fractal patterns. Also features a natural bark inclusion along the rim (a defect in the original tree).
