Heavy Spalted Beech Bowl
£190.00
This large salad or fruit bowl weighs 2.5 kg and was crafted from a fallen spalted beech tree in the Cotswold village of Shipton-under-Wychwood. Rich spalting runs through the wood, giving it striking colour and pattern. On the base, the what3words location has been laser-printed, so you can see exactly where the tree once grew in a beautiful Elizabeth I period garden.

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.
