Handcrafted wooden bowls

Dimensions 21cm x 8cm

This bowl is one of four from an old tree that originally came from Harrogate in Yorkshire. Somehow it found its way to the Wood Place, a saw mill and furniture maker near Auchengray. I try to keep my wood selection to Scottish trees, but I could not resist the chance to work with this beautiful wood. To make this bowl a little different I have topped the rim with a Terracotta coloured inlay

It was turned from the trunk of the Crack Willow tree that hung over my workshop. The tree had two trunks and had become unbalanced and dangerous. Removing one trunk has rebalanced the tree allowing it to survive for a while longer.
