4th Sapele lidded bowl (My First attempt at piercing)

[Breck Whitworth]

10-1/2" x 5" Sapele & Ebony lidded bowl. This is the fourth one I have done with an effort to get better with each. This one is also my first attempt at piercing. Counting the finial the height is 8" I also attempted to make a more elegant finial to dress it up a little more. I will call it and any that follow my Royal Heirloom series. The wood is so beautiful I did not cover the inside with flocking like I did with the others.

Very Beautiful WOW hos did you do the piercing (scroll saw ???) and how did you do the black lines

Very well done as usual Breck. You are becoming more and more talented everyday. Pretty soon you'll be on the traveling circuit. You're getting a lot more time in the shop than I am.

Sean the piercing was done with a Optima 2 Plus Micro Motor Tool, the lines were burned in with a homemade burning tip.

Breck, my complements on an outstanding piece of art! You must have lots of patience to do the lid. Thanks for sharing.

Breck,

That piece is really great. I've not added any burning or piercing to my turnings yet but I really like what it adds. I just can't say enough about how well the different elements are balanced with this turning. Also, great job on the finial. It matches the rest of the form very well and adds a nice touch of delicacy without physically being so thin.

Thank you Michael that really means a great deal coming from another wood turner.
