Shallow Bowl, Lyme Tree

Once upon a time, this bowl was a substantial log—gnarled, knotted and battered by who knows how many years at sea. 

As I carefully worked away the layers of sand, barnacles and weathered exterior, the wood revealed its character and guided me towards shaping it on the lathe.

The finished piece showcases a beautiful grain and a smooth, high-gloss waxed finish. Salvaged from flotsam and jetsam, it was kindly washed ashore by the Atlantic Ocean.

The bowl is 17cm in diameter.
