Two earlier bowls
Still learning the turning.
I think these two were nos. 4 and 5.I believe the bottom one is Camphor Laurel (possibly Silver Ash) and the top one is Chili Myrtle.
What I hadn't anticipated was just how nice it smells to carve wood on a lathe. Camphor Laurel smells exquisite.
(That's No. 2 and 3 in the background. Too ugly to pose for the camera.)
How wonderful when creativity becomes a multi-sensory experience.
ReplyDeleteIndeed! It's a bit like playing a musical instrument. It's sonic, of course, but then there's all that coordinated and rhythmic touch. That's primally fun :)
DeleteI checked, and the bottom one was definitely turned from Camphor Laurel.
