Don't know what to call it (PIC)

Mike Schwing from Maryland

>More of my fascination with turning platters and bowls with pieces missing.

This is black burr walnut, about 13" in diameter, turned to appear as a plate within a bowl. This wasn't my intent starting out, but it just turned out what way.

For lack of a better description, I'm just going to call it art.

My monitor is going nuts on me, so I'm not quite sure about the color rendition on this photo.

>How about "Shattered crockery"? The way you have it in the pic, it looks like a plate that was stored in a pot, they fell, and both cracked in the same way. Beautiful grain in that wood, Mike.

They eat the food and then the plate."

>Charlie:

I love that! Not having kids, I miss out on such gems.

That would really give the Maytag man nothing to do. COme to think of it, it would give Maytag nothing to do.
