A little piece I just finished. Made from Cherry this piece 150mmx150mm is finished with a satin acrylic lacquer. I have made rocking tree pieces before but this time I wanted to make a less chunky one. I like the concept of a bowl on its side thus making its function obsolete (cutting great big holes in the sides also serves this purpose however the finished object always retains an outward appearance of a bowl) These pieces - in my mind - cease to be bowls or hollow forms they are just an object to look at. The function is lost. I was tempted at first to remove the rim and this is something I may do in the future but I liked the idea of the circle representing life from the ground to the top of the tree in a never ending cycle (barring meteor strikes, Nuclear war etc)
