Red oak Beaded Bowls

- I love making these little beaded bowls! They are an average of 2-3" tall, and 4-5" wide.
I've been thinking that I should make a few of these bowls with a lid, turning it into a box.
Let me know what you think.
This Red Oak was cut down beside the parking lot where I work, because it was in danger of falling on cars. So instead of seeing it all go to firewood, I rescue it to be turned into beautiful, functional, pieces of art.
Many of the woods I use are from trees that are cleared for construction. This is wood that would otherwise be burned or end up in a landfill.
To me, it is exciting to find the hidden beauty in a chunk of wood. Even a very plain piece of wood offers design opportunities. When working with plain wood, I often enhance the wood by carving or burning. My carved and burned designs mimic textures and patterns found in nature.

Thanks for the inspiration,enjoyed as always, great job, Heather.
Superb idea and a beautiful effect. Thanks for showing us Heather.
Thanks Mark!
Oh, and I think they're fine without the lids. They look perfect right now.
That came out really nice, Heather!
Nice embellishment. I like the real beads .
Thank you so much!
You never fail to wow me with how clever you are Heather ! I mean, how the bead-band has enough stretch to just 'snap' on. Love it ! I'm still trying figure out how to make a copper or brass band work w/o a visible seam. Thanks for sharing. Take care. -Mike p.s. yes, gardening is allowed to compete with turning & YT.

Hi Mike! There is a way to make a continuous braid. I've done it with paracord but never with wire. I'll attach a link to where I found the directions. Let me know how it goes!

@@spiritwynd Decent, and enlightening, video. It gave me an idea on how to hide seams. Thank you Heather.
Love the bowl and the beaded band. Really adds to the composition. One suggestion, don’t forget grain direction and to cut down hill.
My thought about the lid is to ask the question, will the customer support the increased price point? You have the cost of the bowl, the beaded band, and now a lid. If they won’t pay what you need out of it then, no lid. Something to try, make a lid for 1 or 2 and see if your customers are willing to pay the extra. If the lidded ones fly out before the unlidded ones start selling then you know the lid is needed. Just don’t give the lid away and cheat yourself.
My thoughts exactly on the lids! I'm going to make 2 to start.
And I was wondering who was going to comment first about the grain direction. I did give it a sheer cut after cutting against the grain, but still no excuse.🫣
Nice bowl! Looks good with the beads. Where did you get the beads from? Thank you for sharing.
Thanks! I get the seed beads on Amazon. They are size 11...I think 🤔 maybe 12. They are very close in size, but not close enough to use on the same piece
Hi, I'm a thumbnail creator looking to improve my skills by making thumbnails for more and more creators. You can pay me as much as you want after receiving your desired thumbnail. If you don't like the thumbnail and don't use it, there's no need to pay. Looking forward to working with you!
