A large bowl made from Spalted Beech

Size - D 35cm x H 12.5cm 

Finish - Hard Wax Oil

One of my favourite shapes, clean and simple lines with a a gently curved base meeting a slightly in-turned side. The patterns throughout this piece are simply mesmerising, it’s hard to capture in the photography.

A food safe finish allows flexibility of use but I would advise perhaps a fruit bowl or table centrepiece. 

This is storm fallen beech I have specially cut and prepared within our woodland, actively encouraging the timber to spalt. I've been doing this for many years now so it's not all luck but you never know quite what you are going to get until you cut the piece open.

This batch I really couldn't believe my eyes. Very high quality spalting with almost no punky (soft) wood. 

This really is the Goldilocks zone that is so difficult to come by. Cut the wood too soon and there are no patterns, cut the wood too late and it becomes a rotten mess.

Spalting happens during the initial process of decay. By cutting and seasoning the wood, the spalting process stops, immortalising the patterns within. 

- do not let fruit rot in the bowl
