Cherry Trough Bowl with Feet
A recently completed piece from cherry wood. This is a long symmetrical flat top trough style bowl. I intentionally made the interior more shallow than my previous work. It was actually rather difficult at first not to go as deep as I was used to. This left room on the bottom of the blank so I could bottom carve two feet that the bowl stands on - another first for my carving. I was extremely happy with the final result. Initially the heartwood and sapwood were more contrasting in their tones, but as the wood dried it evened out. Needless to say this piece has some amazing grain quality to it. Finished with raw food grade linseed oil. Bowl measures 14 inches long, 6 inches wide and 2 1/4 inches tall.
