The last teaser for this vessel.....

The secondary colour has been added and I'm busy with the texturing. A couple of hours still but I'm nearing the end. The texture is created with a small point attached to the engraver

Some in progress teasers.....

I have been doing some burning on a vase and still have a couple of hours to completetion

I am also working on another vase. I have added some texture, following the grain patterns between the heartwood and sapwood. I think this will be most attractive with the contrast between the smooth/rough surfaces. Texturing is done with a engraver using a fat point.

Some turning but not enough burning

I have not done much burning on the project shown last week but maybe later tonight.

This is what I did this week. It from Cyprus, about 270 mm (11") tall.
The idea is to do some carving on the 3 surfaces to differentiate them from each other - something like layers.
I have not done anything like this before so we'll see have it progresses, Follow this blog!:)

Some ideas for the next piece

Not much joy with the Cyprus this week so I have decided to do some burning on the next piece. Here's my potential design:
