    Default The winning bowl

    This is the bowl that won equal best in show in Melbourne. Took 7 weeks to design and build. It is 350mm diameter and stands 160mm high. The timber is black bean and silver ash with ash and walnut veneers fir definition. The handle for the lid was a concern, I didn't want a knob or finial. I think that that would have looked odd. The solution came from the handles on the filing cabinet. I was fairly happy with the outcome.
    The first photo show the pattern in the bottom, visible after the lid is removed.

    Does the lid screw on?

    Love the way the design makes the outer surface look as though it has more dimensions than it really does - - - - well I know what I mean anyway
    Top job Jim!

    So someone was a little more than 'fairly happy with the outcome'!

    Stunning display of work, well done.

    thanks folks for the nice comments. I wasn't going to post this but more than a little pressure was applied to do so.
