Oregon Myrtlewood and pottery bowl

[Earl Eyre]

I keep experimenting with new ideas. The inspiration for this came from some beautiful bowls I saw in a gallery on the Oregon coast by Chris Andrews. He used hand slumped glass that is gorgeous. This is a small pottery dish we got in Costa Rica as a souvenir. The overall size is 9" x 2.25". Finish is three coats of Minwax Gloss Wipe On poly and Beel buffed. I've had the piece of Myrtlewood for a long time and couldn't stand to turn it because it was so beautiful. I didn't want to waste it so I hope this put it to good use.

Very nice Earl, the two pieces go well together. Nice job.

Chris is going to be doing the demo for the Wilamette Valley Woodturners tomorrow night (in Salem, OR), and I will be away on a show trip to California. Wish I could be in two places at once.

WOW!

That is beautiful Earl. I just like everything about it. To me it says touch me and that's exactly what I'd like to do.

I'm definitely with Karl on this one. Wow!!! That piece really says, "Touch Me". Beautifully done Earl!!:)

Very nice multi-media piece! The species you chose was a perfect match for the pottery.

Absolutely gorgeous Earl!

[Joe Melton]

Very nice piece, and inspirational. If I lived on the Oregon coast, I'd have a lot more time to turn.

Thanks all. I have a friend who has some molds and kiln for slumping glass. He has said he will make some bowls for me so I hope I can make more. Reed, too bad I can't be in Salem tomorrow. Would love to see Chris making these.

[Glenn Hodges]

Very good combination, they seem to have married well.
