Slight Twist on layered bowl

[Frank Parker]

This a layered bowl I did a couple weeks ago. I used the following woods, starting from the bottom Leopardwood, Yellowheart, Walnut, Maple, and Redheart. It measures 7-1/4" at the tallest by 4-3/8" across with a thickness of a 1/4". I finished it with Tung oil and buffed it.

I like it. The leopard wood really brings the eye to the inside of the bowl if you get what i'm trying to say. Very nice work!

Frank - nice design and a great use of color! Very impressive bowl - an attention getter for sure! Very nice work!

very good use of color...is it heart shaped ? hard to tell for me... like the leopard wood and the red the best...

Like Steve said that will get your attention. Frank I like it. Well done.

[Keith Burns]

Very nice Frank, an interesting twist for sure.

Clara,
It's an optical illusion, the bowl is round, the vee of the rim does it.

I like it very much, Frank. The shapes and colors are really striking.

I'd like to know how you constructed it. As best as I can tell, cross-sections are indeed round. If so, I'm guessing that you made the top three layers by cutting three discs or rings in half, at an angle, then re-joined them after flipping one. Right?

Cary,

All I did was glue 2 stacks of the 4 top woods together, than cut 22.5 degrees on one edge of each than glue the two together, this leaves me with a 45 degree vee, next I planed the point of the vee untill I had a 4" wide flat spot to glue on the piece of Leopardwood. Than I turned it like a natural edge bowl
