Thunderbird Bowl

Post by tfeeken »

This bowl is made of 262 pieces of Cherry, Walnut, Spanish Cherry, and Pecan. It stands about 7" tall and is 7.5" wide.
I made this bowl because my Father told me he always wanted to try to make a thunderbird bowl and thought it would be a good way to mark the first year he has been gone.
So, here's to you dad! I would also like to thank Jim Rodgers for the
insperation I got from his web site. Hope you all like it.

Love it, your inspiration to make this piece is very heartfelt and understandable. It also leaves me with awe!
