Description

Also referred to as "Natural Edge," it is a unique, one of a kind bowl that can be used as a great center piece on your table. Made from Apricot which is an uncommon tree in Winnipeg.

I get most of my wood as a log from naturally fallen trees in friend's and families' yards. The logs are kept in a dry space for 4 - 6 months to dry and then I cut them into usable sized blanks and turn them on my lathe in my small shop.

This bowl comes from a log I acquired from an arbourist in Winnipeg.

Turning bowls on the lathe produces a real feel of Aiki (blending or harmonizing with "Ki" - that universal life energy). More so than most of the other items I turn on a lathe. Turning a live edge bowl requires a lot of attention as the tool is not connected to the wood for much of the turning time.

Dimensions:
10" (25 cm) diameter,

weighs about 790 g
