Bowl with four feet.........

[powderpost]

Found a piece of yellow walnut under the bench. It was a flitch from the side of a log I found in the waste at a saw mill. Rather than a natural edge bowl, I decided on a project a little different. It started out by not having a 'foot', but when it was finished, a little "naval gazing" indicated feet were needed. A small piece of black wanut was used to carve the little bent legs and this is the result. The bowl is 325mm diameter and 80mm deep.

Jim does the bowls shape resemble the view towards the feet or the light shade while looking to the heavens for inspiration which the bowl is well done

Turn it upside down and you have four ducks climbing a hill... :p

(Sorry, couldn't resist it. :doh:) I like, it makes a nice change to the usual run of the mill bowls.

Any particular reason you went for four legs instead of the stability of just three?

Jim it is different and looks good. What is the finish and size? Like Skew why not 3 feet instead of 4?

Thanks for the comments.
As Skew said, it is a little different from the run of the mill bowls. Many bowls have three 'feet' for stability, this one has four for the same reason. No, the legs do not hide screw holes... :no: :U
Ducks doing synchronised exercise????? :D
Finish is three coats of sanding sealer, well sanded back, two coats of lacquer and buffed.
