This beech bowl, made from a tree that once stood in the grounds of Minster Lovell Abbey (built around 1430), showcases beautiful spalting (a type of fungus) and warm flaming colours. The wood was turned thin, about 1cm thick, with a gentle ogee curve (visible in the second photo). To see where the tree once stood, use the what3words app (reduction.gala.crisps).

    Inspiration and Techniques

    With so much waste and redundancy in the world, wherever possible, Glynn uses wood that has already had one life or has become available through a natural occurrence such as a storm or land clearance. No tree lasts forever and when it is time for it to be felled on safety grounds, he is there to gather whatever pieces he can. Other sources include reclamation yards where old gate posts and furniture can be upcycled into objects of beauty.
