Laced Ash bowl

This is my second piece for "Beads of Courage. It's Ash that I colored and left the blue color in the open grain in the Ash. After shaping the piece and before hollowing it I drilled holes around the rim for the lacing and of the words "Beads of Courage." Next I drew and painted Garfield in his bed on it, then finished with high gloss wipe-on-poly. If I remember right there is around 13 to 14 feet of white leather lacing on the piece.

Pete-

Thanks. It has been years since I had picked up a paint brush and painted. I guess that I started something and will have to do another one for "Beads of Courage" next year.
