Yakisugi Bowl from Ash 

Size - D 14cm x H 5cm 

Finish - Tung Oil and Waxes 

A closed form and thin walled bowl.

Made from storm fallen Ash sourced from woodland adjoining the workshop in Kent.

The object has been scorched with a blowtorch then meticulously burnished, removing loose char and bringing the surface to a slight polish. Inspired by ‘Yakisugi’, a Japanese method of wood preservation using fire.

The orientation and form of this bowl is chosen to highlight some beautiful grain.

 All pieces are stamped with my makers mark, a very subtle ‘H’ on the underside so as to not detract from the beauty of the object. 

 For decoration or display

- Tung Oil comes from a nut so please be aware if you have a nut allergy.
