Thread: Camphor bowl

Going by the side pic, it looks like the wood has moved a bit? That's hardly surprising for a crotch piece and I'm guessing most people wouldn't pick it.

I like the form; nice, simple and lets the figure speak for itself.

Good job!

Another nice job Smiife, I very much like the simple form, no need for complex embellishments, the wood will do that by itself. The camphor that grows up here does not produce those colours, you have done it proud.

I also like the small foot.

The rim seems to be a little distorted, is that the photo, or timber movement?

Nice bowl there smiife, lots of character in that piece of wood. The finish looks to have come up well.
