Laminated Bowl
Rodney Dransfield
2001
Celery Top Pine veneer
100mm (h) x 272mm (w) x 250mm (d)
The bowl is inspired by the form and motion of a small wooden boat. It is made from celery top pine veneers, which have been hand cut and then laminated together to achieve its curve. Each of the individual laminates are coopered, like a wooden barrel, and the thin edges of the bowl are shaped using a small wooden spokeshave. This bowl demonstrates Rodney’s desire to create individual pieces through well resolved designs and craftsmanship.
