A Collaboration

[Tom Keen]

This is another bowl that my friend and local artist Sharon Benedict had her way with. Its cherry, turned green, with a coat of two of danish oil. About 8" in diameter. I think she took something pretty ordinary and made it something really special!

Thanks for looking.

I don't think that was just an ordinary bowl but I agree that she made it special. I really like how she incorporated the lighter sapwood into the design on the outer rim. That's really nice.

[Christopher K. Hartley]

Amazing work! Cool!!:)

[Tom Sherman]

An excellent dual effort.

[Ted Calver]

Very nice!! I really like the profile view and how the artwork stands out against the sap wood. Great job from both artists.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Absolutely amazing work Tom! Beautiful bowl to begin with! Impressed with the amount of bark! Love the outside of the bowl - the way the scene follows the sapwood/heartwood line! Saved this one to my favorites! Thanks for posting!

Let Sharon know she does beautiful work!

[Ron Drew]

Special is an understatement! Very nicely done.

[Brodie Brickey]

Beautiful natural edge. The bowl was never ordinary. May complements to you and Sharon. She took a great bowl and only enhanced it.

Will you be continuing in your Bonnie Klein esq collaborations? Will we be seeing something displayed at the AAW symposium?

[Bill Bolen]

[Ben Gastfriend]

Amazing! The amount of bark that stayed on is amazing, and the artwork that follows the sapwood is also outstanding. You and your friend did an excellent job!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Simply stunning! It doesn't get any better than that. Nicely done by both of you!

[Jim Becker]

Wow...what Ken said! The artistry and respect for the grain of the wood relative to the pyrography is wonderful!
