    Default Highly figurative Huon Birdseye Bowl

    Hi
    I just purchased this and an arbotech blade to do some freestyle bowls. This has intense birdseye in it unlike any I have seen before, I cut this out of a large Huon Pine burl purchased from Mike and Sandra in Burnie email [email protected] ph Mike 0419182800 Sandra 0418182800. I have some more bowls cut out from the same burl (one huge one 650mm long) but have to wait until the dry out a little more.

    I notice youve filled a crack in it, what did you fill it with?

    Hi Thanks, i used epoxy resin mixed with huon pine dust and white powder. i wish i had left it clear as it is extremely difficult to match the colour especially as there is so much colour variation in the bowl.

    Epoxy is hard to get rid of as well.... Speccy timber, please post you finished work!

    I dont see pens, I rapids after plenty of rain.

    Cant help thinking that a leap into a totally different colour might have worked better, colour matching is difficult at the best of times add in all that wonderful grain and it's an impossible task.
