Set of 6 Elm Salad Bowls

£180.00

Elm wood is extremely difficult to get hold of because of the near total destruction of the species due to Dutch Elm disease.  When this piece of battered elm came to me, I was not sure what to do with it. It was too small to make one of my signature large salad bowls but, with careful cutting, I managed to get these 6 individual salad bowls out of it.  They have beautiful figuring and each one is individual.  You could even give them names!! Also on this site is a slightly larger salad bowl and a fruit bowl made from the same lump of wood. I don't know when I will get my hands on another piece as big as this.

    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.
