Hand turned from the prized heartwood of the tree to create a uniquely  modern shaped bowl. This bowl is light in the hand and silky smooth to the touch, with an unusually warped shape - a result of turning the wood thin whilst wet and allowing it to dry and warp, giving it a natural rustic look. Finished with 100% tung oil to darken the wood, highlight the beauty of the grain, and to improve durability. This bowl measures 16cm at its widest point, 4.5cm tall, and 4cm deep. Perfect for use as a decorative key bowl or as home decor. Made from ash heartwood sourced locally, and processed fully by myself.

English ash, locally sourced from well managed sustainable woodlands found in a small village in Devon. Ash is a stunning wood that can come in various different colours, the most commonly used being a nice pale yellow white. Ash typically has a straight grain, but this can vary wildly between different pieces, making it perfect for creating large vessels and bowls - giving it a permanent place in my workshop.
