This piece is about 7″ diameter and 3-1/2″ tall. Lots of worm holes around one side, which I have cleaned out of all the “bug dirt”.

Nativity
I was inspired by a clip from this video by Sam Angelo and made a nativity set for the family. I happened to have a bowl that I’d gone too thin on the bottom, so I could cut it to made the manger.
Hollow forms
I’ve been enjoying making hollow forms recently. This is just a sampling of some of the recent ones.
Beetle-Kill Pine:
Maple, with a bit of spalting on the top:
Aspen:
Cottonwood:
Another cottonwood form. I like how layering various colors of dye brings out the figure in cottonwood.
Wormy Maple Bowl
The worms really had a field-day in this Maple tree. They bored lots of holes. I like the patterns they left in the wood. I think this bowl shows off both the beauty of the wood and gives a glimpse into the lives of creatures that lived in the tree.
The bowl measures about 10.75″ x 3″
