Wood and Copper Vase #385
Piece #385- Birch – 4.5″ by 6″ – SOLD
This piece has a blue Calcite inlaid band along the bottom. Finished using red and blue milk paint with a lacquer finish. I sanded the bowl to 320 grit sandpaper. Sealed it with a one pound cut of shellac. The first coat of paint was blue and the second coat was red. When it was completely cured (24 hrs.) I sanded through the red to expose some blue and also some raw wood. Finished it with three coats of spray lacquer. After curing I buffed it with 0000 steel wool and completed it on the Beal Buffing System.
The figure and grain in this simple rice bowl are stunning.
This rich looking black walnut bowl has a textured rim underscored by an inlaid turquoise bead. The worm holes were also inlaid with the mineral.
