Elm salad bowl

£60.00

When this log was presented to me, I was very excited but not sure what to do with it as it had a lot of cracks and fissures in it.  To date, I have made this larger bowl and a set of 6 individual salad bowls.  This example has an inclusion running through it but the wood is completely stable.

Salad bowl from a piece of a local elm tree. Elm is in very scarce supply apart from planks due to the destruction of Dutch Elm disease.  This bowl is from the same tree that the 6 salad bowls are from – listed elsewhere on the site. 24cm x 8cm.

    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.
