This piece started out as a bland Basswood(lime) bowl blank that was given to me. Its about 8" wide and 3" tall. Its been turned, then the texture painstakingly pyro'd on one dent at a time with a spoon tip, dyed dark purple inside and out, gilt cream applied and washed back with oil to give the old metallic hamered look and the inside gold leafed, with holes created in the leaf with a brass brush in the dremel and then gilt cream applied over the holes to try and give a very old worn appearance. Theres a fair bit of work in this for a bowl!
