This image is of two bowls and a vase turned from Russain olive. The bowls are about 10 to 12" in diamemter and were sand carved, as well as was this 12" tall vase, then dyed black, and resanded until just the soft, recessed grain in the wood is left colored. This leaves a very pronounced texture to the surface and is very well recieved.
