As of yet this bowl has not got a name but I enjoyed every minute experimenting with the rim. I kept the main bowl and underside simple as I wanted the rim to speak for this one. Wood is unknown but I believe it is maple if you know different then please let me know(I don't get maple usually).

It measures 13 1/2" X 2 1/2" and the decoration was done using acrylic paints

From the design it became a definite bowl for a purpose, isolating the rim to a strong support role.Probably the most outstanding profile I have seen for some time shown as it should in the horizontal. The decoration is innovative, creative, really separate yet contained within. Definitely a bowl to remember.

Thank you all.

I like everything about this one Derek. To my eye the triangles have a 3D effect. Great job.:thumbs:

The triangles are meant to represent shards of glass and the light reflecting off of two edges I could have done it so that it appeared as though the light was from one direction but decided to make it so each piece had the light coming from different directions.

Great effect, great colours, great all round job Derek.

Really like what you have done with this from the shape to the glass effect and the colouring.

Top marks for that one.:thumbs:
