Some really beautiful grain through this piece set off by gentle curvatures and a sharply in-stepped bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis object has been turned quite thinly towards the edge, which adds a certain amount of jeopardy when it comes to the yakisugi treatment.

This one has become rather special to me, always catching my eye when I walk past it in the studio. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTreated with a food safe product so could be used for fruit or a decorative table centrepiece.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tip for displaying.
