I think I’m going to make a lot of these. They are fun to make and the end result is always a bit of a surprise.
The woods used to construct the “swirl” in this bowl were: Wenge, Purpleheart, Canarywood, Yellowheart and dyed Maple veneer.
This piece has approximately 2,400 individual pieces in it.
The base and rim are made from Wenge.
It is 12 1/2” in diameter and 7 1/2” tall.
The finish is lacquer.

That is incredible work, never seen such a colorful turning (especially with only a single species died). Is this made from one board cut into rings?
