Elm salad bowl

When this log first came to Glynn, he was excited but unsure what to make of it — the wood was full of cracks and fissures. With care, he has since crafted this larger bowl along with a set of six individual salad bowls. This particular piece carries an inclusion running through it, yet the wood is completely stable. The natural imperfection gives the bowl character and makes it truly one of a kind.
In stock
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.
