After a crack in a wonderful bowl of yew

[Jo Winter2]

Hi all,
after a longer time of absence.
After long time of considerations I made a leaf stalk to cover the crack in a
42cm diameter bowl of yew burl. The idea was to let the attention on the bowl,
not on the stalk. Therefore the stalk is from the same wood.

Hi Jo

The bowl looks flat in the picture  is it possible to see a pic of from the side .The stalk works for me.

Thats a lovely looking plate Jo and you would never know it wasn't intended all along.

Always good to see your work, Jo, should the crack have taken any other form, the piece would never have worked as it has done.

Plain and simple, not as complex as most of your piece, yet thought provoking all the same, a fix less distracting than a dutchman.

Thank you guys. Yes, sometimes a simple solution is the best one.

Lovely rexcue job. As said if you hadn't told us we would have thought it was our original design. Perfect for the shape of the piece, and of course quality of workmanship is expected of you LOL.

I'll need to remember that little trick.
Beautifully done and very effective.

Jo, 

good to see a post in the forum from you again.

Such a simple addition but it makes the whole plate 'so much more'. A well seen answer to nature's attempt to change your work.
