    A couple more spirals

    A pair of mirror image "fraternal twins", maple/walnut and walnut/maple (or maybe the other way around):

    About 5.5"x2.5".

    "Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.

    Lee....very nice and I like the contrasting woods.

    The pattern, however, makes me think I'm having another vertigo attack

    Nicely done!

    Nice form and colors.

    Nicely done Lee. I like the contrasting wood between the 2 bowls and the different spiral direction.

    Good thing you made both spiral directions or I might be very dizzy right now.

    Very good looking pieces.
