Hand turned to create a large bowl with a traditional curvy shape a thin profile, making this fruit bowl very light in the hand. Featuring a bark inclusion and a lightly 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 inside with a burning technique called yakisugi to create a striking contrast from the exterior. Finished with a food safe hard wax oil to highlight the beauty of the grain and to improve durability. This bowl measures 25cm wide, 11cm tall, and 11.5cm deep. Perfect for use as a fruit bowl or as home decor.
 
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, fruit bowls and salad bowls - giving it a permanent place in my workshop.
