Splendid, Highly Figured Maple Bowl

The graceful convex shape gives the surface a gently downward sweep in a fluid, uninterrupted motion, evoking in silhouette a bird in flight, or a flying saucer imagined by H. G. Wells. As light moves across the surface, the swirling figured surface shimmers beautifully, revealing layered tones of warm tan and rich brown.  Measuring an impressive 15 inches across, this substantial piece commands attention and serves as a stunning wood art centerpiece—both sculptural and timeless.
