This piece is the opposite half of my pecan crotch Lake Superior bowl I gave to my cousin, which is fitting as this piece goes to my Uncle (her dad) who has resided in Alaska for almost 50 years.
I have been experimenting with transtint dyes and having fun with the process. I originally envisioned this piece as having blue sky, some puffy clouds mountains and green rolling hills since it was going to reside in Alaska but the angle of the outer face was too obtuse or acute, (depending on your outlook) and coupled with my almost total lack of ability to transfer that vision onto the wood, and by the end of the night I had a real good back background for my new vision, "Aurora Borealis!" I believe I was better able to capture the second vision!
Finish is general coatings salad bowl finish, wiped on.
Comments and critique as always are appreciated!
