Bleached Walnut Wave Bowl

[John Beaver]

Created for the AAW "Bleach" Contest. Thought I'd share it here too.

6 x 3 Bleached Walnut Wave Bowl

The exterior is bleached and the interior and "wave" left natural to give the feeling that the "wave" is projecting through the outside of the bowl. A light veneer is added to mimic the "wave" pattern on the interior.

John, I am always excited to see your latest project. Your wave bowls are really nice and this one is fantastic. I can't believe you got walnut to bleach that light. Thanks for posting this.

[Baxter Smith]

Very nice work! Always interesting to see!

[Michael James]

Very interesting and artistic piece. Thanks for posting.

[Brian Effinger]

That is really cool. Another of those "how'd he do that" pieces. :)

[Richard Madden]

I agree that it's a very interesting and very cool piece!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Interesting and unique. I do like it.

John,

Love your wave bowls. This one is really terrific. The bleaching of the walnut worked out very well. Another nice one.

[Ron Stadler]

That is very cool, excellently done, the form and whole process looks perfect to me. Thanks for sharing.

[John Keeton]

John, very nice work! The bleaching on the walnut is amazing, and I like the contrast with the inside. Application of the veneer really helps the illusion.

[Jim Burr]

Very exactilng piece John...who knew walnut could become that light!

[Steve Schlumpf]

John - very interesting design! Love the contrast and the sense of movement the wave gives the bowl. For me - the real kicker is the veneer on the inside! Just one of those unexpected things that grab your attention! Very nice work! Good luck in the contest!

John, this is stunning, leaves me thinking "How on earth????" The bleaching worked so well on the walnut, the contrast between wave and wall is great.

[Keith E Byrd]

outstanding! I'm fairly new to turning and can't imagine how you would do this - really like the bowl!

[John Beaver]

Thanks for all the kind comments.
For those who are wondering about bleaching the Walnut. I did it 3 times until I was satisfied with the color.

[Eugene Wigley]

Very nice!! The contrast is great. Thanks for posting this.

Not sure how I missed this one, but I'm glad I finally found it. The exterior is beautiful, but it's the inside of the form that's got me captivated... I'll be scratching my head for a while trying to figure that trick out.

[Ron Bontz]

Well I don't know how you did it. But it is really cool. Nice work.
