Blackwood
120(h) x 450(ø) mm

This bowl is a splendid example of a remarkable piece of timber combined with fine craftsmanship in the art of wood turning and considered and careful finishing. The blush of Blackwood’s sapwood is strategically allowed to flow which suggests a reflection from an unknown source of light.

"I work from old trees usually. The wood was quite unique with that deep fiddleback grain, it came from a very large tree and I only had a small piece of it. So I knew that it should be for something quite special. I remember thinking that I had to keep the design quite simple and let the wood speak for itself."
