One of my favorite applications using this method is to make customized bowls for clients who want either a personalized piece or one made of a special wood. Within certain size limitations I can inlay names or a date into the interior base of a bowl amid a contrasting background. Or if there is a cherished tree that has come down or needs removal, I can create a special bowl or vase from a salvaged piece or cross section to turn into an heirloom keepsake. If you have an idea for a noteworthy occasion or a special piece of wood I’ll be happy to work with you.
