Piece #100 – River Birch – 8″ by 2.5″ – SOLD

 

I turned this piece sometime in 2011. Because it had no grain or character I painted it with black lacquer. It sat on my office shelf until May, 2014 when I decided to spiff it up. I applied copper leaf and a chemical patina to the rim and inside. It is too shallow and the bottom is too broad to call it a bowl. The copper is shiny hence the name “Flash in the Pan”.
