I like that! I'm impressed by the way that the spun decoration has worked its way past the light texturing by spreading sideways as well as outwards, then, when it hits the un-textured surface closer to the rim, it has done the usual thing and spun out. Was that planned, Jason, or happenstance?

I like this very much. I particularly like the contrast between concentric rings (presumably left intentionally from the turning or introduced later) and the radial pattern of the lighter blue, and all of it disrupted by the carved pattern. Very nice!

Was this maybe inspired by the sessions of Ambrose O'Halloran at the seminar? I distinctly remember him talking about taking risks and this piece has some many elements of risk in it.

Seventhdevil "skill"!  ;D ;D ;D PMSL!

I was making a standard centrifuge bowl, didn't like it, started facing it off, stopped the lathe and thought "Mmm - I like that pattern" but I didn't know what to do with it, John suggested I add some texture and that is what I came up with after adding carving and burning. The part turned off bowl is below.

Jason this seems to be a technique that has many variations well worth exploring.

Maybe it is the radial rings but the more I look at this piece the more it seems to be moving (revolving) still.
I think the electric blue is an inspired move, we hardly ever see wood turning that colour but applying it boldly as here has really worked.

I've not seen much of your work Jason. Not being a social media follower.
This I like. There is a pleasing blend of media with fine turning.
Thanks for sharing here

I am Utterly absorbed by this bowl - it's probably my favourite thing I've ever turned, the colours, the layer upon layer of textures from paint, tooling, carving and burning. I just can't wait to do more like this! I find it so exciting! - but it's also strange because I know many turners will view this as rubbish  - it's a half faced off  bowl with tool lines still in it!! but if I discard the "how I made it" bit, I absolutely love it!!

Thanks to everyone for commenting.

Now never mind it's 10pm I've got to get home and get on the lathe!! :D

Jason,

I like this, the texturing, the colour and the carving all work together.

And I see it as a juxtaposition between the analog and digital musical mediums. The black/blue background with the textured lines make me see an old LP, the carved spots I see as the dots that I know that are on but you can't see, on CDs to be read by the laser.

Okay, so, I'm weird!
