About the Artwork

I added 3 carvings on the inner side of the curved rim by placing the knife while eccentrically rotating the vessel. I could only check the carving by stopping the rotation. It was very difficult to make the carvings even.

Techniques Used

Wood turning

In wood turning (hikimono), a piece of wood is rotated on a lathe and shaped with various cutting tools. Wood turning is suited to the creation of round trays, containers, and bowls. Different blades and cutting angles can be used to produce a wide range of forms. Balanced, symmetrical forms are made by spinning the lathe at a constant speed.
