Godina • Dec 14, 2010
Here’s a piece that I created specifically for the Nova Woodturners’ Guild Turning of Age Exhibition last month. I call it ‘Godina’, which, loosely translated, is Croatian for ‘aged’. Here, have a look at why I believe the name is appropriate:

The bowl is made of Maple and has been heavily textured. This was helped by the fact that the wood was fairly punky when I started. It was then painted with a metallic type paint and then over-layed with a layer of Verdi Gris. The base was made of Pine and painted with a crackle paint to match the old, decayed look of the bowl.
The diameter of the bowl is almost 7 inches and it is 4 inches tall. The overall height of the piece is 10 inches and the base is between 4 and 5 inches square.
The different textures, the mix of woodturning with woodworking and the finishes were all really fun to explore.
Here’s a few more photos:
