Hand turned to create a small shallow wooden bowl designed for small items such as keys and coins. Featuring a lightly textured smooth finish and a lightly spalted pattern causing black lines in the wood. Finished with a mineral oil to highlight the beauty of the grain. This small wooden bowl measures just over 14cm wide, 2.5cm tall, and 2cm deep. Perfect for use as a bowl for loose change or as decor around the home.
 
Patterned English beech, locally sourced from well managed sustainable woodlands found in a small village in Devon. Beech is a stunning light brown coloured wood with hints of orange. The wavy black lines and patterns are formed when a beech tree is felled and left on its side to grow a particular type of fungus that runs throughout the wood. This is what creates the visually stunning markings found on this piece. With a straight, closed grain, giving it a strong surface, beech is often used for kitchen utensils and cabinetry - giving it a permanent place in my workshop.
