Back to work after the New Year's break, Brian has made a very large cherry bowl which is perfect for serving Caesar Salad to a crowd. He turned the bowl on the lathe first, then made a recess the exact size of the wood veneer inlay. The inlay was glued into place on the upper edge of the bowl, then sanded and oiled.
This photograph shows the bowl drying after the bottom was turned off. It displays the grain and figuring of the wood and the contrast of the inlaid veneer. This bowl will become more beautiful in time as cherry develops a richer colour as it ages.
