Another one born from an idea in the kitchen. Laid new slate floor tiles last year and had some left over, so slung em in the shed for future use. Was turnig an apple blank a few weeks after and it had split after split, so, took the angle grinder to it and started to carve along the cracks. It looked almost neolithic so mounted it on the slate to create a natural looking piece.
The wife called it a cave man bowl, and said it was "very me"!! The cheek!:funny:

Your brain must be a deeply frightening place to inhabit Brody! That having been said I love the bowl, even if I'm backing away slowly and not making eye contact ...

:devil::devil:Brody time to respond to the Cave Man remark one time so very long ago my dearly beloved made such a remark to me so I left the room came back with some waste material in my hand grabbed her round the waist threw her back yelled and at the same time tore the cloth from my hand with a violent ripping sound pulling on her favourite dress at the same time. It was worth the advice I received.

Distress is best served on a base just as you have love it.

There is a very distinct difference between art and trash Brody. If I'd taken an angle grinder to a bowl, it would have looked like a trashed bowl. Yours however looks like art and I like it but like the others say, your head must be a very frightening place to be :funny:

Now that is certainly different.

A bit Marmite for me to be honest, but I guess if it was a choice between that or the fire for it then it qualifies as a good save.
