I think I did a piece on these when I did my demo back in November and now have completed 4 more and given to the Widows in my Ministry. So enjoyed making these that since I now have a new woodburner can see making more. We have posted a video of the process on YouTube also with link at the end of post

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Plate colored rim w/ Stick n Burn & Metallic Gourd Inks

 

 

Some beautiful work.

..Very Nice! Reminds me of Early Americana style work. 

Those are really spectacular! Isn't this an amazing hobby? Or whatever a person wants to call it. So many ways to make beautiful things turning.

 

 

Quite creative.  Beautiful colors too.

Those are absolutely fantastic, Gerald!

 

How do you keep the colors, on the rims, from migrating down into the "bowl?

Firstly beautiful work, secondly, I loved the video, got to hear and see Gerald in real life!!!

What he said! (Cause I couldn’t say it better)

+1 on what everyone else said.  I should think that those widows are very happy to have such wonderfully crafted works of art.  Blessings to you for your gifts.

The center is left unturned and the rim is turned sanded and stained. When doing this the rim is made wider than it will be in finished piece. Then turn out the center and get that sharp edge with a undercut.

Thanks!

beautiful pieces Gerald
