Wooden Bowl with Carved Flowers
#1 · May 1, 2020, 5:57 pm
The bowl was a $5 Salvation Army find. I'm not sure what kind of wood it is but it's hard and splintery when carved. I suspect the bowl was made in someplace like Indonesia and sold as a decorative object at Pier 1 or a similar store.
Anyway, the bowl had a crack in it which I glued and then I carved the flowers. One of the members of our woodcarving club, the Orange County Woodcarvers painted the flowers for me so that they really stand out. A few coats of polyurethane and a final wax and it's done.
