The white piece is a section of half of a vase turned from a piece of Camphor from the Laurel family the rest of the vase can be seen in the 4 th picture. The red onion is Red Ivory and the black piece is African Black Wood. Please feel free to suggest a name. Finish is shellac mixed with a white powder same as used to colour resin for the white piece and the other two pieces blond shellac.

Very nice. I would love to have some of your vision for design rub off on me. How about "Blood, Sweat and Tears" for a title.

Thank Vcooney,Sawdustfactory & cplead comments appreciated. On another forum a chap suggested Wood Turners Flame Of Life which I like but thought Wood Turners Flame Of Friendship sounded nice but do keep the names coming Regards Roger.

This is another beautiful and artistic piece.

I've never been able to put anything I've turned through the band saw ... maybe when I've turned a couple of hundred more bowls that I'm happy with, I'll feel okay about sacrificing one!

"Red Dwarf/Black Hole" was one thought I had for a name (I've been reading books about the universe and space-time continuum!)

Where do you come up with these ideas?
I just cant imagine dreaming that up
Beautiful work

A sure sign of a good piece of art is when individual viewers see different things in it but are all equally moved by it. That's a captivating piece.

I first felt a sense of graceful movement, almost reminiscent of a dancer. Then I thought of something being blown in the wind, yet the"onion" which looks like a flame to me also, doesn't lean as if it's being shielded. "Keeper of the Flame" jumped to mind.

Nice work!

Thank you duncsuss,robert421960 & Bonanza35 comments appreciated. Robert421960 you wont believe but the idea came from the logo on a shampoo bottle. duncsuss cutting up a bowl is sort of a must after awhile just for you to see how far you have come with your turning.

I like what you called it the red onion well done very nice piece.

Oh, I know ... but I don't think I've come far enough yet to make it worth splitting one -- it happened once by accident, of course.

From a book but thought of it when I saw the red... "The flame and the Void."

 

[Rodbuster]

I see (especially from the 3rd picture),

"The Last Teardrop"

Some very cool work. Looks like a "Hershey's" kiss. Something like a wood kiss in suspension.

How bout beauty within, being you can now see the inside of the vase and what it holds
