Another Bowl of Grapes

A nice little piece of walnut and some scraps of Koa I brought back from Kaua’i led me down the path to anorther bowl with grapes. I also used the Koa to create a contrasting rim with some interest. The Koa has wonderful highlights and plays well with the walnut. The bowl is about 5.5 inches in diameter and 2 inches tall, with a foot covered in soft tan leather. The vines are oak and the grapes are koa plugs, cut from thin stock and inserted in three layers.

Neat! I like the grapes idea. Might have to steal that one!

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

Great looking bowl and the grape look makes everything stand out.  Mike
That is a wonderful design, the grapes look really nine in the bowl. Well done.
