This one, I thought turned out pretty cool!  It started out with a plain ash bowl that just looked – well – plain.  I thought I’d add a ring to the top of it using a darker color wood to add some contrast.  That’s were it started, but sometimes, things just cascade out of control!  As I started making the segments for the ring, I thought “Ooh, I can add a hole in the middle of the segment, so it’s see-through!  Once the holes were done, it was “Ooh, I can add a post through the circles!”.  The it was “OoH, I can add a wire, through the posts, through the circles! “.  I stopped myself when I realized I was actually considering how to make the spikes on the wire so that it would look like miniature barbed wire.  The amount of work it took to get all that stuff crammed into one ring was no small task and took a LOT longer than I expected to fabricate all the pieces.  It’s the first time I’ve attempted something like this and was certainly provided many “learning opportunities”.  If fellow turners look closely, there are ample flaws with the execution, but I at least got the top of the ash part to line up with the bottom part.  If I make another one, there is a long list of things that I would do differently!  Still thinking about how to add spikes, though…
