Maple Bowl w/Scene

[Steve Schlumpf]

OK, I suppose my imagination is just working overtime but looking into the bowl I see something – do you? Yeah, I know… I’ve been turning too many bowls!

This is maple 10 ¼” x 3” with a 3/8” rim rapidly tapering to a ¼” thick bowl. Included a few additional photos as the bowl looks very different from each side.

A harvest moon over the mountains and the lake:rolleyes: Great piece Steve. Don't you just love a great grain as it appears in your turning? You're one heck of a turner. Don't forget to visit the family.:D

[Dan Forman]

That's fantastic! I agree, looks like a landscape. Really nice form as well.

[Greg Just]

Very nice work - love the shape

[Allen Neighbors]

As oriented, I see a small cove, canyonland background, and the sun in a glaringly bright sky. That it?
Nice bowl! Good form, too.

[Dennis Hatchett]

Good job on the bowl, but I kinda see the monster from my favorite horror flick. Creature from the Black lagoon.:eek:

[Tom Sherman]

Steve this is another winner, the grain and color combo's in that bowl are amazing, your work shows it well. Great job.

[Alex Elias]

Although I seem to have a limited visual imagination on the image created by the figure I can't miss the great looking bowl you've created.
Congrats.

Spectacular scene in a georgous bowl with a tremondous amount of detail. I love that bowl. Thanks for sharing your beautiful pieces with us all.

Another beauty Steve. I really like the wood and form. Well done.

[Mike Vickery]

Very nice looking piece. Can't say that I see anything though.

I bet that bowl was finished with spray lacquer (hic)!!:eek::D

Oh wait it's not John's piece, hmmm maybe still. Nice piece by the way, and no I don't see anything in it, except maybe a scoop of nice cappuccino chunky chocolate chip ice cream. My idea at least matches the rain colorations!:D

COOL, the first view looks like a landscape that might have been done by Edvard Munch! :eek: (if you look up "the scream," you might see this guy as EXTRA funny)
Very nice!!!

After inhaling deeply, I see a masterpiece done by Vincent Van Gogh, entitled Moonlit Night at Canyon Lake.:)

I actually see a face in the bowl..kinda like a Cyclops with a bandana just below the nose....now let me scroll down and see what others "see"

[Glenn Hodges]

I see a beautiful piece of wood and bowl.

[robert hainstock]

All of the responses from your contemporaries are esactly the reson I still turn. The great variety of "visions" seen in that particular piece depict the marvel of what the creator hid in that particular chunk of tree. Once again, nice of you to bring it out. :D:D

I see beauty and skill masterfully combined to produce an exceptional bowl.

[David Fried]

Well, in the last picture I an Indian in the heartwood.
I can see he landscape in the first picture.
All I see in the second and third pictures is a great bowl!

Looks like a moon-lit winter night over the skating pond in Whoville.
