I watched the Binh Phoh DVD on piercing and used his technique for the thin walled bowl. This is made out of cherry to about 1/16 of an inch. I used the Presto to to pierce and cut out the words ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS. I started to cut out the hogs on the side, but I chose to burn them. May cut out the next one, wasn't sure how it would look with nothing dark behind it.
Would love to airbrush the the letters red, and add some color to the hogs, but I need to work on my piercing techniques first. Was really fun. I do a lot of scroll work, and all the Razorback items do well in my booth. Not sure how this one will fare, but I may take it down this week in time for a Christmas sale perhaps. Only negative is that the bowl is extremely fragile.
Thanks for looking,
Jeff
