Just a simple bowl design made from Ash and lines are burned in by the pyromaniac turner.
Bowl measures approx. 4-1/2" diameter x 2-1/4"high and finished with multi coats of Minwax Wipe on Poly - Satin. Then finally burnished in with a coarse towel.
The signature on the bottom has its own story(I was never happy with hand signing my work even though I was a draftsman for many years).
The little Blackburnian Warbler crashed into my home office window one morning and fell to the deck on its side with its eyes closed. I ran out and picked him up and held him in the pocket of my sweatshirt in the office to keep him warm (I heard that you must keep them warm). After about 20 minutes he started to squirm and kick so I took him outside and put him on a stump. He waited while I got my camera and was a very good subject. Later he flew away and hopefully is still going strong.
Thanks for looking,
Wayne
