Hello, friends! This one look familiar? If it does, that’s because it’s a revisit from one of my favourite past projects! If you haven’t seen the Sapphire Walnut Bowl yet, here it is: https://youtu.be/2SkR0fUmvcQ. I thought it might be interesting to try a lighter wood and a darker resin, and so I opted for Ash wood and a dark turquoise resin. The resin pigment wasn’t quite what I was originally going for, but I was still very pleased with the final result. I just love how turning a square blank round brings out so many unique and unexpected patterns!

What do you think, friends?
