My selection for TOTW for the week of August 7, 2023, is "Blackened Oak Bowl" by Marc Banka. From the moment that I first laid eyes on this absolutely stunning bowl, I knew that Marc Banka had made my task this week a "no-brainer". This bowl immediately invites being held and imagining the tactile feel of its purity of form. In my mind, Marc absolutely nailed it. I love the beautifully proportioned and clean form, the rim design that works so well to complement the overall form, the two simple accent lines to draw in the viewer's attention, the out-of-the-ordinary foot design, and the blackened finish which works so well to simultaneously soften the appearance while accentuating the grain and medullary ray pattern of the wood.
I should also mention that the photography is top-notch.
