Small ash hollow vessel - 2

Here's another small turning. It's 2 1/2 in. tall and about the same at it's largest diameter. I used a piece of riftsawn ash, turning the vessel like a bowl so that the grain would wrap around the outside in nice, clean lines. I love the sweep of the grain. I painted the inside with a custom milk paint mixed from snow white and pumpkin milk paints. It's mostly white with a hint of the pumpkin to create the nice pastel color.

I've just about finished my next box. It's been near completion for a while now, but I haven't had a chance to finish it because my mom died after a long battle with a brain tumor. (I've been back home in Florida twice in the last month.) I'll have it up next week. And I have some great boxes planned for the next several.

The bowl is beautiful. I trust your memories of your mother are, as well.
Peace to you and yours.

Sorry to hear about your mom Matt but thank you for sharing. It might sound sappy, but I think the human stories behind our online personalities helps connect us in different ways than just woodworking. Keep on keepin on...

    I love furniture design, and smart techniques. This blog is about both.
