Mango bowl     ...in the making.....Above

see the beauty of the finished item

Another lovely bowl turned out of mango tree. The idea was to capture the changing grain that is found where the tree splits into two branches. At any time, the tree has to add supportive material to its structure the grain change. The aim of this bowl was to show the outsides as they were but to turn out the bowl from the inside and show the beautiful grain. The timber was green for turning and needed plenty of care to prevent it from cracking. The final result was a pretty awesome bowl. (The base of the bowl is also shown.)
