Splash

[henton49er]

I have tried to imitate the spash made by a drop of water in turning this piece of cherry.

There is a continuous curve from the outer edge to the bottom of the bowl. The central spike (in spalted beech) represents the remnants of the drop that returns vertically. The bowl is approx 12" in diameter and 2.1/2" high to the rim and 6" to the top of the spike. The outer edge is approx 1" off the standing surface.

Quite tricky to get the continuous curve, but I am pleased with the overall result.

And so you should be ,it's great to have the feeling that everything is as you wanted it to be .Lovely piece of turning you have a right to be proud.

Love the bowl, that curve is just as it would look in a splash, lovely finish on it too

Would it be daft of a novice like myself to say it looks like caramel. Amazing.

Lovely work, Mike - the finish on the cherry looks great and I really like the shape.

That is one very nice bit of turning and a wonderful finish
