Hi Guys
I have been watching Pallins work for some time and like the contrast that he brings to his work with different woods. So the idea for this came from seeing what he has done on his projects. .
Think it's time to start making wood chips fly again so am going to have a crack at a different sort of bowl or shallow dish. It will be about the size of a small dinner plate and will be comprised of hollowed out and raised segents. The raised segments will be made of Kahikatea which is a very white fine grained wood. I had hoped to make the base of walnut but not sure if I have a piece big enough.
Think the method will be to turn the bowl and carve the deep segments then turn the lighter wood to the same profile as the bowl body.
Then cut the light coloured wood segents out and inlet then a little way into the bowl wall to take out any minor variations then carve them to the raised section shape.
If all goes to plan it should end up looking like a flower petal pattern but with a wave like appearance all around the bowl.
Think it will be pretty trickyand fiddly to get right but hey what's life without a challenge.
