Large shell

In contrast to earlier bowls made by Ulrike Scriba, this teardrop shaped piece has softer, round shapes. It is worked very thinly from a heavy block of veneers made of local bog oak with a light black-brown colour gradient, and maple dyed blue. These blue pieces were glued to the surface. Adding veneers to the concave and convex surface poses a technical challenge as they are not very flexible.
