Here's a second square bowl that I finished last week. I had not had the chance to post it. I used black gesso and carved through it with a dremel for the texture.

Thanks for all the comments guys. You'll be seeing these a third time when I get the next one done. I've got one more piece of purpleheart to complete the triplet.

Raymond,
Can you tell us how thick they are? I'd also like to see how you finished the bottoms. Your beautiful work might inspire me to try that one of these days...
Take care,

Those are lovely, Raymond. A few questions:
1) What is "Black Gesso"?
2) What size stock did you use?
3) Is doing this kind of work any more hazardous than doing a natural edge?
That's not a light at the end of the tunnel; It's a naked singularity.
