Hand-Carved Oak Bowls

£490
Quantity:

Hand-carved Oak Bowls, carved from a single piece of oak with a natural, lightly textured finish, by Jamie Gaunt.

The hand-carved bowls posses a depth of character due to them being air-dried oak. The process of air drying has allows the bowls to draw elements of nature into their fabric to inform its colour, the way it has aged and even the splits which have formed over the years. All these factors bring a grounded beauty to the individual piece and provide us with an ageless form. 

Carving this collection of bowls has been such a great joy. Each bowl is informed by and developed from the one previous to it and when complete takes its place in the line of evolution. It could be a subtle variation in how a tool is held in the hand which enables you to apply marks in a new way or perhaps as obscure as the way in which a bowl is clamped and secured during the carving process which allows access to previously difficult areas to reach. I find it somehow counterintuitive that the more I make and repeat a design the longer it actually takes to complete. The result, I think, of becoming aware of new levels of detail and a greater understanding of what actually constitutes a great bowl.”

Finished with a food safe oil / wax.
