Another wabi sabi piece

[Bodrighy]

This is chestnut, Nature hadn't been kind to it but this time I have left all splits as they were. It has a separate neck, also badly split. I cleaned the splits up and buffed it all as it is. It stands a total of 15" tall. C&C welcome.

Another beautiful and interesting piece Pete.
I used to be heavily into antique porcelain and it is noticeable how many of your pieces match the designs of places like Royal Worcester. I am not accusing you of copying them ( not that there would be anything wrong with that ) but suggesting that you are following the same Japanesque influences that intrigued everybody in the late 1800s. It is going to be interesting to see if you slowly switch to egyptian styling

What can one say? A classic piece.

 

[winemaker]

I like that

 

[woodfarmer]

I really like it, the rustic natural look together with the elegant lines.

It is possible I will have a couple of wabi sabi apples or pears in cherry soon

Pete,

what do you use to clean out the splits?

[Bodrighy]

Thank you. Hopefully be doing a few more soon. Been building up 'normal' stock ready for some shows lately so not much time to do these.

Pete,

what do you use to clean out the splits?

Mark

I have some dental picks and use those to get any bits out then clean the rest with abrasive. You have to be careful not to over sand though as if you round the edges off too much it starts to look sort of artificial.

Another triumph. really like that

 

[Woodmonkey]

Very nice, not too fussy, lets the beauty of the wood speak for itself.

 

[Dalboy]

Another great piece Pete. Like the dark bands to separate the form. The only thing in my eyes is the neck is just a little to light in colour would liked it nearer the colour of the main base part

It is an inspiration to me,,
