Thread: Red BLM Burl Vase...finally done!

  1. #16
    Cool piece, Tim. Looks like someone dripped a cherry bomb in it and it blew part of the top off. Color is dramatic. The first pic, although it does not show the void, is my favorite view. The way the curl surrounds the burl cluster in the center is delicious!

    Wow, that's amazing. I love the violence at the top. Nice finish. With the red and the destruction at the top, there's some metaphor about a broken heart here.

    I'm sure it's more prominent in person, but I bet this woulda been equally impressive without the color.

    All around fantastic!!! Normally, dying BLM is taboo as you mentioned, but this works so well! I like the width of the base, it lends itself to real pottery, but more of a radius may be something to look at. The finish is amazing!!! High 5!!

    Late to the party and nothing new to add, but have to chip in another "beautiful" for this piece. Really outstanding wood, form, color and finish.

    Time, I think the blacked out inside is incredibly striking, but would love to see the inside color, too.
