    Default Trying to be a bit different

    I've been working on a few new ideas, still developing them though. I've been working on a few carved Vase type forms.

    The first one of course is one of my first attempts, not too sure about it (maybe a bit "clunky",but it sold quite quickly. Possibly not the best angle in the photo. The top is actually oval. Wood is Australian Red Cedar. Approx 380mm high.

    The second I think I've developed the design a bit, a bit bigger, approx 380mm high, it sold quickly too.

    The third piece is a fluted spalted Pecan bowl, approx 425mm in diameter.

    The final piece is Silky Oak with a carved rim.

    All comments welcome

    All comments welcome - Peter

    Peter I like the 2nd & 3rd ones.

    They all look good, but I am very interested in what they are leading too. .

    Not sure about trying - looks to me like you are succeeding in being different, I love the vases.

    Very nice work.
    I especially like the two vases. The first looks a bit more free form then the second.
    Also like the pecan bowl - reminds me a bit of those glass ashtrays common in the 60s and 70s
    Not sure I like the lines of the silky oak bowl, might be the photo angle, but it doesn't seem to flow as I think you wanted.
    wish I had the patience and skill to do this sort of work, nice
    regards

    I'm using Livos/Kunos oil, expensive but a nice finish.

    Yes I agree about the Silky Oak Bowl - has a big bottom!!!

    Peter, I like your ''a bit different experiment''.
    My eyes catched the second red cedar vase, the best and most attractive of all.
    Refreshing to see!!!
    Very well done
