Deep Sycamore Salad/Fruit Bowl
£80.00
This bowl comes from a sycamore tree that once stood proudly along Burford High Street. When a storm brought the tree down, some of the wood was saved and transformed into bowls. Sycamore has a natural warmth, and the figuring in this piece gives it a rich, glowing character that feels both timeless and rooted in place.

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.
