Thick Walled Spalted Beech Bowl
£100.00
This piece is made from a beech tree that fell on the Blenheim estate a few years ago - the tree has provided me with many bowls. This one has very thick walls, wide flat top, with a smooth semi-circular centre giving it a striking look. The figuring is caused by a fungus (spalting) that gives small black lines in the wood. It is a statement piece, either on its own or with fruit in it.

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.
