Handturned Wood
19 x 18.5 x 9 cm
Until it was rescued from the scrap heap, this bowl got a lot of attention from gnawing bugs, now long gone, although their trails make attractive patterns beneath the natural edge. The wood is hard to identify but strongly resembles Crows Ash, a yellowish native tree. It is finished in Danish Oil, a mix of natural oils (no hydrocarbons) including Orange and Mustard seed oil, which harden in the timber and make it durable.
