Hand turned to create a small apple wood pencil holder, made from end grain and uniquely prized heartwood with specialist woodturning tools. With straight angular sides, a very thin profile, and subtle warp. Finished with 100% tung oil to create a vibrant dark orange, to highlight the beauty of the grain, and to create a silky smooth surface. This pencil holder measures 7cm at its widest point, 8cm tall, and 6.5cm deep.

Apple wood is a highly prized hardwood, valued for its rich colour, fine grain, and exceptional durability. Freshly worked, it displays warm golden and pinkish-brown tones that gradually deepen over time into a rich honey brown. Its tight even grain creates a smooth finish, making it the perfect choice for wooden bowls and spoons.
