Sculptured Rim - American Walnut - Juglans nigra
To enhance the basic turned form, I introduced a simple and repetitive sculptured pattern for it's rim. The design was developed by sketching and manipulating shapes on paper. The shapes were first marked, cut, extensively carved, textured and stained to provide the delicate rim highlight. This was made from a piece of American Walnut given to me thus preventing it going onto a wood heap.
