I've been out of town for a couple days. When I got back and started going through my email I found this picture from Dan Hart. Dan took the Oval Bowl pattern I posted a couple weeks ago and added an initial inlay to the bottom. I did a video on the inlay technique recently if you want to give this a try.
The project came out fantastic and Dan's wife loved the gift. She proudly displays the bowl with other cherished collectibles.
Dan took a basic project and with his creativity made it into a family heirloom. That's what turns craft into art. Thanks Dan for sharing your project and reminding all of us that a little creativity can make a project so special. Beautiful work.
