Turned Bowls

Wooden bowls and plates can be turned from a very wide range of woods.

This one is made from a slice of wood taken from a log of Spalted Silver Birch.

The black lines are caused by a fungus in the wood.

This one which can hold a central candle surrounded by pot pourri is made from sycamore.

Below is a very simple bowl turned from Cherry

Another challenge for me was to produce a small lidded cup with a captive ring.

The one below was made from a piece of olive wood given to me in Crete.

Sometimes it is not necessary to turn the wood on the lathe.

This candle holder was made from a slice taken from a Spalted Silver Birch log.
