Thunderbird Vessel

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Thunderbird VesselPretty much all of the vessels that I've made lately have been of the Southwest Native American design. I thought that I'd change things up a bit and make something representative of the Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest coastal tribes this time. To accomplish this, I incorporated a Thunderbird feature ring into this one.
The Thunderbird is a mythological character that appears in many Native American legends. From the numerous stories of the Thunderbird, it is often assumed that Thunderbird is a protector - though at times this creature can be forced to punish those of low moral integrity.
I made this piece out of Cherry, Maple and Walnut. There are 481 total pieces in this wood turning. The intricacy of the Thunderbird feature ring took a long time, as in, most of the summer! It's finished with 10 coats of polyurethane followed with abrasive paste and wax. As usual, before the finish was dry my wife claimed it as hers. I guess I should be happy that she likes my work!
