This is a spherical ribbon assembled from four stave-constructed half-bowls. Banksia pods were quartered and compound-mitered to construct the bowls. It’s about 12" tall including the stand of macassar ebony.

Malcolm that is gorgeous! It looks like beaten bronze or copper! That would look great sitting in someone's library.

Absolutely stunning work Malcom. After seeing a number of your pieces I can at least see how you did this one. Now if I only had some ability.

Malcolm, everything you make is "different". So when I saw the title of the thread. I was expecting a plain platter from straight grained cherry or poplar...now THAT would have been a different Tibbetts. :D As usual, wonderful execution.

Malcolm, are you bringing any pieces to SOFA?

Sean, I haven't been invited to bring anything to SOFA. I did supply a photo for the AAW sponsored critique.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments.
