Well this drawing came from my wife's Father back in 1983 . I decided to copy it to one of my bowls and pyrography it for her. I hope she likes it. all comments welcome.

I love the fact that you have kept it as a simple drawing, very close to the original. Lovely gesture. The bowl is again a simple design letting the wood and the drawing do all the talking.

I am not surprised she shed a tear Dennis. Well done on a great bowl something she will treasure for years to come

I've no doubt the bowl will be loved as much as the original drawing, but being more durable, will be able to be on display.

What a great gesture, well done.

What a lovely idea Dennis.

Both drawing & bowl work well together.

All the best
