Fire Bowl

[johnny.t.]

This piercing business is quite addictive! This bowl is made from sycamore and pierced with a fire design. The 'skeleton' part is representative of the flames leaping away from the black part which is the thing 'burning'. The bowl is a wide rimmed ogee style and about 9" wide.Comments and critiques welcome.

FANTASTIC!!

Love it, the wife loves it, the cats loves it too. Miaow he said - twice!

No doubt someone will say "won't hold much will it?"

A great piece of work Johnny, go along with comments seen elsewhere that Flame piercing would go better with the title as would a 90deg from the top presentation. But as a piece, forgeting the title it is a beauty.

I see it as a bubbling block of lava, a flowing one next time perhaps, elongated piercings or flames.

Perhaps you should use Ash for these, it does burn better.

Wow that's nice Johnny, very delicate work, well done!

Looks good Johnny,

But being critical i think the transition from the black quite close piercing to the red very open is too fast.

All the best

Hi Johnny,
I like the way you have two different effects merging into one piece.
I feel the circular cutout in the middle jars just a little, being regular and centred, while everything else about the piece is asymmetrical and irregular.
But nevertheless, a fantastic piece of work!

what a great example of 'art and craft'

is there somewhere I can read up on the techniques employed here (or a thread/web reference) please?

 

[johnny.t.]

Jumps, I don't know of any write up on how to do this, I don't think one is needed, its just a case of turn a thin as possible and attack with a dremel, simple as that!
