Serendipiry

>I would like to be able to make the claim that I carefully adjusted the blank to obtain the
symetrical grain pattern that compliments the form of this small covered bowl. However
that would be a little disengenuous because serendipity is the only possible explanation.
Any way my wife calls this view the front of the piece and I have to agree. Thanks for
looking.
Very nice Don!

>Beautiful piece of work! This is why we work with wood isn't it? Sometimes nature can outdo the artist at his own game.

>I'd take credit for it anyway, Don! If a piece comes out the way we would have eventually wanted it to, it seems disingenuous NOT to take full credit, doesn't it?
Ain't it nice when a plan comes together?

>Don this is my most favorite piece that you've posted. It is absolutely lovely. The shape of the bowl and the figure in the wood is perfect, however it happened. I love the little lid and the finial is great! You are turning some really nice things Don! Keep the pictures coming!
