2nd mulberry bowl with ring accents

This is the second one of these that I’ve made, and to be honest, I think the muse for this project is on life support and the prognosis is not good for any kind of recovery.  For this one, I decided to do the same pattern throughout the bowl, which is different than the others.  I also limited the coloring to just red, letting the yellow the wood and the blackness of the wood burning make the rest of the color scheme.  Although I really didn’t intend for it to happen, this design looks even more “snake like” than the other one.

This will be thrown in the box with the others:

For some reason, the grain on this piece of mulberry wasn’t as pronounced as the others.  I think when I put it on the lathe, I was just a few degrees off , causing the ring pattern to “shift” on the bowl.  In this picture, you can see the rings aren’t balanced between the left side of the bowl and the right side.
