It gave me great pleasure to be asked to participate in this project to honor the memory of Bill Luce by embellishing one of the many unfinished bowls that were left in his shop after his passing.
This bowl reflects the shape so many of us think of when we think of Bill’s bowls. His bowls were typically thinner than this one was, so I had the opportunity to carve deep organic shapes before I sandblasted to reveal the wood grain. After sandblasting, I bleached the exterior and left the interior natural.
