I thought black Milliput would give too much contrast on this carved black limba bowl, but now I'm having serious regrets about the brick color. Wife says it looks great but I think she's trying to make me feel better about it. Going to reserve judgement until final finish but I suspect this one gets chalked up to #woodturning mistakes in the end. Too bad. It was otherwise a very nice piece with a pleasing shape.
@tdotrob I think the brick color is a subtle contrast. The darker area draws the eye, then the pattern on the lighter section is revealed. I agree with your wife. Looks good, IMO. But, I am not an artist! ha
@NMWoman Thx for the follow, I hope it is worth it. ;-) The bowl's got one coat of sanding sealer so far and I'm hoping to finish it off today. I was thinking a gloss finish might bring out the contrast a bit. Fingers crossed.
@tdotrob Ok, Can't wait to see the FO.
@tdotrob I followed you so I can see the FO. It will be interesting to see. I love seeing these kinds of projects.
