Some More Small Tea LightsJul 27, 2010

Here’s some more of the small Maple Peyoke tea lights. These ones are also about 2 1/2″ in diameter and 2″ tall and again, each have their own style and design.

These are so much fun to make. It’s a great opportunity to relax and just play. The tea light shape, the design of the burning and the choice of what to stain is completely done on the fly. Because they are so quick to make I use them to generate ideas for the larger pieces. :)

Here are photos of the individual tealights:

Peyoke Bowl With A Notched Rim IIJul 25, 2010

Here’s another Maple Peyoke bowl with a notched, burned and stained rim. The rim is larger than the previous one and it is rounded with the notches and dots burned on the outside edge.

The rim also has quite the undercut on the inside, almost creating an enclosed bowl. It works well with the rolled rim.

The bowl is about 8″ in diameter and 2″ high . It is finished with the U-Beaut combo. The stained area is finished with a couple of coats of wipe-on poly.

Peyoke Bowl With A Notched RimJul 23, 2010

Here’s a Maple Peyoke bowl that features a rim that has been notched, burned and stained.

It’s approximately 8″ in diameter and 2″ high. Like all the others it has been finished with EEE Cream and Shellawax. The stained rim has been brushed with a coat of wipe-on poly.

I found it surprising how easily and quickly a simple thing like notching the rim can give a whole new look to a piece. It took it from being a plain bowl to one that looks to be inspired by the American Southwest, which was what I was looking for. If you have ever been to my home you’ll agree that this fits right in. ;)

Maple Bowl With Textured Band IIJul 21, 2010

Here’s another Maple bowl in the Peyoke style that features a textured band. It is very similar to the previous one except that the texturing has been widened, stained and a series of staggered burned dots have been added.

It is about 6″ in diameter and 3″ high and it is finished with EEE Cream and Shellawax. The textured band has been stained and finished with a bit of wipe-on poly.

The stained texturing really gives a contrasting color and the dots give it somewhat of a ‘bubbly’ look..

The sides have been turned a bit thicker (3/16″) than the previous one but it still has a feel and look of lightness to it.

Here are a few more photos:
