    Something different

    Here is something I just finished for my granddaughter's (Kyra Rose) 17th birthday. It is quite different, but I want to start experimenting with different embellishments.

    The rose is bloodwood. The inner pieces are glued to a disk about 3" x 1/4", then the disk is glued into the bottom of the locust burl. From there the outer pieces of the rose are shaped on the bottom to set on the surface of the burl.

    I'm not sure what it is: a shallow bowl or dish or a wall hanging. All C&C welcome.

    That is very unique! Great rose embellishment......nice clean lines on it and good burl background. Should be a lovely piece when finished.

    Well there you go! Back to that age old question of craft or art? Really cool and I'm liking it! Love the creativity!

    I like it a lot, this goes on the art side of "craft vs art" IMO.

    I think you should call it the "ROSE BOWL"

    Linda this is unusual and really neat. This is timely for me as I'm planning the process of carving some leaves for a vessel I have in mind. Could you share a little of the approach you used on the rose? I have not done any carving before but am determined to start this project.
