Pecan plate/bowl with burned rim

6"D x 1"H pecan. Used a flat blade screwdriver to burn the rim circles. was a bit upset that the circles are not quite evenly spaced, thought I had marked them more carefully. My wife calls this my flying saucer dish.

That's very well-done Philip. I've turned pecan only once and was impressed but it's ability to accept finishing.

Oh I forgot to mention that the finish is a simple friction polish.

Well Boots I hope you like it, it will be headed your way soon.

Philip, I really like your bowl! The color and finish are very good, and upward slope to the bowl edge is a great idea, as are the rings.

Thanks Gil. When I started this bowl, I didn't have a clue about what I was going to do, but as I started cutting it just sort of poppped out like this. Funny how that works.

Yes it is, but I rather like it when a piece kind of helps in its own creation.

A fine piece of work, Phil. I like the pecan and how it worked up for you. Rings may be a bit uneven, but I'm not sure I would have paid it a bit of attention had I not been told that they were off. Looks pretty good to me. 8)

Interesting design with the inverted rim Phil, pretty cool. The rings look fine to me, their being off just a bit gives it curious interest.

Philip, Your wife named my first thought looking at your plate. It looks like it wants to take off from the table and the rings on the inverted rim give it a feeling of movement. Very cool effect.

And, I think you are the only one to actually stick to the dimensions as stated in the challenge.
