Good one, Smiffe. The grain is fantastic and the pyrography really sets it off. As a pyrograph ignoramus was the basket weave done freehand or with some sort of template? Either way, it looks great. :2tsup:

That's a really nice piece of work there smiife and very well finished as we have come to expect. Pyrography is not something I have tried and if you lived a bit closer I would be asking you if you would mind show me how you do it. I've seen examples that don't work but I like the balance between natural wood and the pyrography that you have in this piece, they both complement each other.

great piece of camphor, great bowl. Very medieval looking :2tsup:
Hi Gary , thanks for your comments , the basket weave is done with a paper clipQuote:
