Another One Kinda Like The Other One

[Raymond Overman]

Here's a second square bowl that I finished last week. I had not had the chance to post it. I used black gesso and carved through it with a dremel for the texture.

Downright COOL, Raymond:) :)

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Beauties for sure Raymond! What kind of treatment do you put on the bottom?

[Jim Ketron]

Nice Pieces Raymond, love the details

[Ernie Nyvall]

Neat work, Raymond. You've got a great pair there.

[Christopher Stahl]

Raymond, those are pretty sweet! Good job.

[Raymond Overman]

Thanks for all the comments guys. You'll be seeing these a third time when I get the next one done. I've got one more piece of purpleheart to complete the triplet.

[Tom Sherman]

These two are looking real good Raymond. Looking forward to the third.

[Don Baer]

Those are great looking, I bet your knuckles will be glad when you finally get the third one done.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thats a beauty Raymond. I would be white knuckled doing one of those. Beautiful job.

[Dick Strauss]

Raymond,
Can you tell us how thick they are? I'd also like to see how you finished the bottoms. Your beautiful work might inspire me to try that one of these days...

Take care,
Dick

Those are lovely, Raymond. A few questions:

1) What is "Black Gesso"?

2) What size stock did you use?

3) Is doing this kind of work any more hazardous than doing a natural edge?
