I am pretty sure we would all agree that @Steve Krumanakeris the best at embellishing the bowl bottom. I use other tools than burning and try to h is also very good for convey the idea that the top is not all there is to a bowl. I use a Sorby Mini Spiraling tool mostly, just could not justify buying a large one. I also use the Craft Supply version of a Wagner tool and then there is the Decorating Elf which is also very effective on smaller items. Now for the challenge I will show some of mine and you show some of yours! Beads can work well too and fairly simple to add with practice. A bit of Sorby plus a small bead This is some of what the Decorating Elf can do. Very simple beads . A bit of crosshatching with the Sorby. I have some completed bottoms on my bench and will make some pics and post more tonight. Now it is your turn to show yours or get inspired to do dome embellishment.

In spite of itself. I had trimmed the lid parts.. Still ugly. Set this aside, for now. I took the pine panel out of the clamps, trimmed it to size, length wize needed squared, width was a 1/8" too wide. Laid the panel on the bench, and clamped it in place... Meh, still needs a bit more. Plane is a Stanley #4, Type 13. Iron even has the "SW" on it. Gave it a bit more work.. The other face was a bit worse. I used the Millers Falls #11 to flatten the face, before the #4 took over. There was one edge that was a bit wavy, though.. Since the #4 was handy, gave it a little extra work. Needed a straight edge for the next plane to work... I figured I could use this new cutter for the #45......wrong, this cutter does NOT fit MY plane. Sooo. I dug out a narrower cutter, 3/16" instead of the too wide 1/4" ones. At least the skates will sit where they need to be It will have to do....the 45 does NOT like knots being in the way,either.. meh...At least I can bury that spot... Test fitted. Due to the length of the panel, I won't need to do this sort of thing to the ends. Test fitted all four sides.. Leaves some room for expansion. Well, that will do for the 45, for now. Time to pack it away until needed again.. Have to wait until the Laundry is done, before I'm allowed to make any more messes.....Igor, clean up in Aisle #1!!!
