Originally, this design was a requested project from my mother-in-law. She wanted something for her everyday rings and jewelry.
So I got busy with a piece of Mahogany and turned a single piece ring bowl.
This particular art piece shows an unusual quality of Mahogany: Chatoyance or Cat's Eye effect it's an optical reflectance effect normally seen in certain gemstones like Tiger Eye, but a very rare occurrence in wood, especially Mahogany. The real brilliance is seen in direct sunlight.
