Very nice, Horst. How did you create the texture?

[Bruce Shiverdecker]

That is a Beautiful ART object, Horst. This is one of the few times I've seen texturing enhanse the visual appeal of the piece instead of detracting from it.

Absolutely beautiful work. I also would like to hear about you textureing technique.

[Jim Becker]

Horst, very nice. The texturing seems to work in an interesting way with the grain of that piece. Excellent!

[Horst Hohoff]

Hello,
Thanks a lot for the kind comments.
The texturing was done with the Sorby Texturing & Spiralling Tool using the texturing wheel.

Very nice! I like what the texturing adds to it.

[Henry C. Gernhardt, III]

Very nice work, Horst. The simple form lends itself quite nicely to the texturing. The proportions of embellished to plain areas are, to my eye, just about perfect.

[Joe Fisher]

Um...I think you missed a spot while sanding. :D

Great work!! I bet it's nice to touch.

Beautiful bowl with a nice touch. Nice job.

[Jeff Myers]

I love that bowl !! The texturing really adds a lot to that piece.
Horst, do you finish the piece on the lathe then add texturing and
nothing gets put on the textured area? Or does it get a seal of some
sort too?
I don't own a texturing tool and haven't seen the process in action,,
but that bowl makes me want to try it someday.

Hello Jeff,
I got the texturing tool only recently and this bowl is the first piece I’ve done with it. It’s also the first time I turned this particular wood. Because I liked the bowl as it is, it didn’t get any finish ( yet ). Before I put anything on , I want to do another piece in the same wood and see what it will look like with my usual oil finish on. And I think, a textured surface offers a lot of possibilities for experiment, even with colours.
