This handcrafted Bowl was turned from a piece of Oak, felled in the forestry around Coniston Water in the Lake District. I charred the rim surface to create a layer of charcoal that protects the wood from the elements this is known as Shou sugi ban or yakisugi, it is a traditional Japanese method of preserving wood by fire which dates back centuries.

It is finished with a food safe blend of natural oils and waxes.

The bowl form is 13” W x 4”H.
