A Wide Rimmed Maple Peyoke BowlJun 12, 2010

Here’s a wide-rimmed bowl in the style of my Peyoke series. It is made of Maple and features a burned and stained ring with a row of burned ‘dots’ circling the bowl. The bottom of the bowl is also contrasted with a stained ring.

The overall size of the bowl is 8″ with the rim at 1 1/2″ and the bowl itself is 5″. It sits about 2″ high. The rim is 1/4″ thick.

It is finished with the U-Beaut finish. The stained areas are finished with a coat of wipe-on poly.

I used a variety of burning styles and accents and played with the staining a bit on one of them to give it an ‘antique’ look. Both were finished with a couple of coats of wipe-on poly.

Here’s some more photos showing each individual box starting with the first one:

Textured Maple Bowl With BurningsJun 08, 2010

Here’s another bowl in, what I have come to call, the Peyoke style. It is made of Maple and it is 5 3/4″ in diameter and 3″ tall. In addition to the burning this bowl also features a textured band.

The textured band certainly gives the bowl a tactile effect, making the handling of the bowl a different and enjoyable experience. This area was kept natural without any finish while the other natural areas were finished with EEE Cream and Shellawax. The burned and stained area was finished with a coat of wipe-on poly.

The Maple that I used for this one is the Old Man Maple that used to grow in the in-laws backyard. It also features a bit of spalting. A beautiful example of the Peyoke tradition.

It was finished with U-Beaut product combination and the band received a light coat of wipe-on poly.
