Fresh from the Bowl Shed
The lathe hums year-round, but not every bowl makes its way to the spotlight. This page holds a few select turnings—pieces that carry the scent of fresh shavings, the rhythm of the season, and the quiet stories that emerge from wood newly awakened.
These are not all the bowls I’ve made—just a few that speak to the moment. If you're browsing from afar or passing through in person, these are the turnings that might catch your eye.

Rivergrain Origin & Recovery
Origin & Recovery
Recovered by the team at TREES Ltd from a wind-felled sycamore on the banks of the River Clyde.
This piece carries the marks of water, time, and transformation—its journey began in the river, where parts of the wood had begun to rot.
Elevated Forms Shadowroot & Heartroot
Turned from a cluster of small burrs from a wind-felled oak in the Craggieburn estate near Falkirk. Elevated form and flowing resin reveal the tree’s wild complexity—beauty shaped by resistance and time.
Stormshell Reverie
Crafted from a storm-felled sycamore sourced in Eliburn in 2021, this bowl reflects a shared commitment to sustainable stewardship through collaboration with colleagues from TREES
Eliburn Reflection
Once rooted beside the reservoir in Eliburn Park, this cherry tree now lives on in a form that honours its quiet strength
Trail Crown
Turned from Beech heartwood recovered after the January winds that brought down several ancient trees along the Murieston Trail. This bowl carries the quiet weight of that moment—wood once rooted, now reimagined.
Cherry by the Water
Crafted from a cherry tree that once stood beside the reservoir in Eliburn Park, this bowl holds the soft curves of a classic form and the gentle memory of its source.
Rustic Oak Burl
This piece carries the legacy of a storm-felled giant from the Craggieburn Estate near Falkirk. Its form is intentionally simple—an unadorned vessel that honours the natural contours and wild textures of the wood.
