I have had this design rolling around for a while now and decided today it was time to do it but I added a bit to it the black and it has to go 8" x 2" no finish on it yet as it will be going back on the lathe I just hope it will stand up to it LOL if not it will end up a small pot
Hows that then black all gone what a job it has ended up 3mm thick and the points didnt like being worked they kept moving but I'm not giving up on the design with some black just different
A great attempt at this bowl have to agree it just does not look right. Maybe if the three legs circled in red are all the same size and touching the surface and the blue circled one made larger and pointing up.
Or possibly the red circled legs on the left and right are one length and the one furthest away is a bit shorted causing the bowl to tilt towards that one. keep the blue circled larger as described above.
I think a few more photos are in order it is standing on the only three legs it has that is the ones to the left, right and front as you will see I hope the extra photos will show that

It's somehow reassuring to know the master sometimes as a bit of a struggle.
Although it still looks nicely turned and I do like the design without the black
By the time you're finished I'm sure it will look as if you had the completed design in mind all the time and those that did not see its earlier incarnation will be none the wiser.
