Its been a bit quite so I thought I might might post this one. Its been lying around waiting for me to get inspired for atleast two years.
It measures 12"x3" sort of a flat hollow vesesl or perhaps a hollow platter Finished with DO and the inside is stained with Mahogany to give a good contrast to the carving.
I find these sort of flat shapes a real challenge, dont really want to turn away all the wood to make a platter and its a bit flat for a decent bowl. I only picked up the blank because of the figure, took me ages to come up with something I liked that would show off the figure and be less predictable.
