11" Cherry Crotch

[Bob Bergstrom]

This one measures about 11" across and 5 1/2" deep. Use a dremel to stipple the rim. I brushed some flat black lacquer in the divots and then used a black marker and a Sharpie to finish near the rim's edge. Tried sanding back the rim but it just looked better all black. It is about 1/4 to 3/8" thick.

Bob that is a beauty. I really like the rim treatment and the black really sets this bowl off.

[John Keeton]

Bob, that is a pretty neat rim treatment!! And, a nice bowl to boot. Love the figure and grain in the cherry crotch.

Very nice and unique bowl.

[Roger Chandler]

Wowzers! That-R-pretty! Love the grain and the swirl of the pith where the branches started..............the rim is very nicely done!

[Tim Rinehart]

Just gorgeous...very nice contrast!

[Kieran Kammerer]

Nice piece. Think I will have to try some of that banding.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Very interesting bowl Bob! I love working with Cherry but never thought of using a black band to bring out the color! Nice effect! Thanks for sharing!

[Steve Vaughan]

Black and cherry always goes together in my book. That's a great looking bowl there!

[David E Keller]

Nice shape and finish on a pretty piece of wood.

Bob, I love your approach to this work. The bowl is a knock-out and the rim idea really sets it off. Great Job!:)
