Usually I create fungi bowls with a smooth silver-plate on the front side. As you can see from the opening photo I flipped the metal to see what the bowls would look like with the pattern of the savaged placemat on the front. What do you think?
The form of the fungi bowls are based on one of my favourite forest fungi - see photo below.
A few process photos follow including one of the bowls balanced on the tip of a metal stake. The stake was handmade 10 years ago by a blacksmith in Portland Oregon - weighs several kilos. The stake is held in a vise. Can you believe Fiona and I posted it home!!!
A couple of photos of the finished bowls on the workbench follow. The bowls are about 7-7.5cm in diameter. A serious amount of hammering goes into making each of these bowls.
Finished bowls on the table at home.
