Here’s a different take on a bowl that I did recently. Its straight side, flat bottom and accents reminds me of a drum, hence, a drum bowl.

It is made of Maple and it’s 8″ (20cm) in diameter and 2″ tall (5cm). The rim and base are accented with a series of small burned dots and then stained, giving great contrast to natural Maple side.

The natural Maple has been finished with U-Beaut combo and the stained area has been given a coat of wipe-on poly.

Here’s a few more photos:

Here’s another bowl in the Peyoke series that I turned out of Maple. It has a stained band that was carved and burned in a block pattern with a large ‘dot’ in their centers .

It is 6 1/2″ in diameter and 2 1/2″ tall and finished like the others with EEE Cream and Shellawax. There’s a coat of wipe-on poly on the stained area.

Here’s some more photos of this bowl:

Here are four more burned and stained Maple tea lights that I done recently. These are also done in the Peyoke style and approximately 4 1/2″ in diameter and 2″ tall and fit a 1 1/2″ glass cup with a candle.

Each one has a different shape, burned and carved accents and stained areas. They are all finished with EEE Cream and Shellawax. The stained areas are finished with wipe-on poly.

These tea lights, like the previous ones, gave me the opportunity to try out these different ideas on actual pieces.

Here’s some more photos showing the individual tea lights, starting with the first one:

Here’s a few tea lights that I turned recently. They are approximately 4 1/2″ in diameter and 2″ tall and fit a 1 1/2″ glass cup with a candle.

They are finished with EEE Cream and Shellawax. As well, the stained areas are finished with wipe-on poly.

Like my other projects in the Peyoke series they each have their own style of accents done by carving, burning and staining.

Here’s some photos of the individual tea lights:
