    2 Salad Bowls

    I needed to make a couple of Salad Bowls, one for a friend and one for a raffle. So, I raided my stash and came up roughouts that I've had drying for a couple of years. The first bowl (13" x 5 1/2") is from an Ash Tree and the second bowl (12" x 4") is from Madrone....both hail from the Roseburg, Oregon area. I've been doing pyro on a border area of many of my bowls, and had gotten a little bored with some of the patterns I was using. Then, I remembered that Baxter Smith had done some pyro work that I liked, so I looked up his recent projects and it inspired part of my design on the borders for both of these bowls (thanks Baxter).

    Oh, the finish is Bees Oil ( a mixture of mineral oil and bees wax). I really like the stuff!

    C&C's are always welcome!!!!

    Mike, an equally nice job on both, but the contrast of the ash makes it the clear winner for me! Very nice work, and the pyro/carved accent band on the rim is a nice touch.

    Really nice bowls Mike. Really like the rim accent of carving and pyro.

    Ditto. Nice looking Ash ... Ash!

    Good stuff there, Mike. Love the rim detail.

    Beautiful bowls Mike, the colors are phenomenal and the rim embellishment is just right. Not too much, just right.

    Very nice.........both of them.............nice rim treatment on both............I have to go with the ash as the better of the two because of the contrast between heartwood and sapwood.............fine work Mike!
