Fairly Useless Platter

Or maybe it’s a shallow bowl. Either way, it won’t hold soup.

Cherry burl with large bark inclusions wenge pewa) and some bug tracks. Quite a mess. This was the outer core from around the bowl I posted earlier.

About 12″ diameter, 2-1/4″ tall.

Cherry Burl Bowl

About 8″ diameter, 2.75″ high. Round bottom (no foot, just a little dimple so it sits upright).
Simple walnut oil finish.
A few pewa (maple) to stabilize a crack, and some epoxy fill in the cracks just to make the bowl more usable, since the cracks went all the way through.

Ash Calabash

Calabash bowl from an ash crotch. Walnut pewa joining some cracks. No foot, just a little dimple. Some great figure in this piece. About 7″ diameter, 3-1/2″ tall. Walnut oil finish.

Sliced Hollow Form

Honey Locust. About 6-1/2” diameter, 3-1/4 tall. Sliced apart and reassembled with wenge pewa. Interior painted black, exterior finished with walnut oil.

Wormy Ash Sliced

Wormy Ash. Hollowed with a small (1/4″) hole in the top. Sliced and reassembled with Wenge pewa.

About 5 1/2″ diameter, 6 3/4″ tall. Interior painted black, exterior finished with walnut oil.

Yes, I hollowed it through the bottom.

PatchWork

Hollow Form, probably Maple but I’m not really sure.

It’s about 6″ diameter and 6.25″ tall.

The bark inclusion was just too big, so I got a little guy in to wall it up.

There was a large crack along one side, which I patched with Walnut pewa.

The bricklayer left some bricks in the bottom.

Sliced Hollow Form

Hollow Form, about 5″ diameter and 6″ tall.

Sliced apart and reassembled with Walnut Pewa. I made two slices at different orientations to yield an opening that flows between wide and narrow.

Pretty sure this was Cherry. Exterior finish is Lacquer, interior painted black.

Genie Escapes!

About 10″ tall and 5.5″ diameter. Ash, with Maple Pewa patches where Genie broke through the wall. Finish is Walnut Oil.
