Cherry Burr

[georg]

 
  Had this Burr for sometime so decided to do something with it. Managed to get 2 bowl saves from it ( this stuff was hard ),
  Thought we would do aged imitation metal rings to see how it looked.
  The large Bowl is 4 1/2" x 11.... Medium 3" x 9"... small 2" x 7" and finished in Danish Oil.
  Comments as always most welcome.
  Kind Regards Tony Di

Lucky to get three as Cherry is a bugger for splitting.

Three great bowls love the ring effect on them just adds enough interest without going over the top. If there was a thumbs up smilly I would give you some

Brilliant job on the fake iron rings....if you hadn't said that they were fake, I might well have believed that they were.

       Thank You very much... Derek and Les
 It was very hair raising getting the bowl saves , used the straight blade .... chickened out of using the curved blade.
 Have added another pic.... close up of one of the rings.

The more I see this the more I like it

That close up is almost more convincing than the distance shots. Very nice work.

               Thank You Very Much.. George.. and .. Fuzzy

   Had the idea floating around for a while but had to wait for the right type of rustic piece to try it on.

Tony, these are really fantastic to look at, the effect of the bands is very realistic. If there were some scored vertical lines I would have believed they were really coopered.

Yet another great effect from the pair of you 

All the best

    Appreciated Ed .. And Bryan.. Thank You
 
    Bryan not quit sure what you mean about the vertical  scored lines ...... In our thoughts we were after a aged
    metal/ copper bronze sort of look.

Tony, Di,

Coopered like a barrel. The if the metal rings go around horizontally, the wooden staves are jointed vertically.

So some scored lines would have created the effect of staves.

But that was just a thought from the effect you've created in these pieces.

 Thanks Bryan as soon as we read your answer it all fell into place... think the brains have got a bit over heated .
