The beauty of Bill Luce's round-bottom bowls has awed me since I was first introduced to his work in my early days as a turner. Bill was a master in de­termining perfect curve and proportions in his pieces. The woods he chose are native to the Pa­cific Northwest, and in many cases, it was wood that is not ordinarily used for woodturning. The simplicity of the wood accentuates the beauty of his turning. The piece I chose is oak that was turned green. It became oval as it dried. To me, the grain line suggested a path meandering around the bowl. I wanted to embellish the bowl with something that wouldn't detract from either the form nor the beauty of the wood. My piercing creates a path that encircles the bowl by simply following the natural grainlines.
