This partly segmented piece is made from Curly Maple and Ribbon Sapele. The base bowl section was first turned, then hand carved with 16 flutes. There is a 1/8" layer of curly Maple in between the bowl and foot that has a bead turned in to it. After carving the outer bowl section the piece went back on the lathe to turn the rim that had been turned previously to match the bowls angle and glued onto the bowl . Then the design was hand drawn and hand carved into the rim. The piece finished at 13 1/2" D 5" Tall. The final finish is satin lacquer.

Impressive as always. If I tried that pierced carved ring, my piece would not be named "baroque" but plain old "broke".

Best,

Dave

I am always awed by beautiful work such as this! I used to aspire to create at this level until it finally sunk in that I have neither the skill nor the patience to turn out beauty at this level. It is great to have the Bruce Jones of this world To inspire us and delight us with their talent and sense of beauty. Thank you

Thank you John, Brian and everyone else. This piece seems to be well received on most sites and places I've posted it. Brian maybe one day I'll be invited to have a show to display my works in an appropriate venue.
