Hand-turned from a single piece of English beech, this piece shows the beautiful organic colours and patterns that make this timber the favourite of many a woodturner.

To produce this unique material fallen Beech trees are left on their sides for between 3-5 years and during this time the patterns are formed by fungi as they break the log down. Different woodlands contain different species each with their own pattern and colour fingerprints. We are lucky enough to know someone with a woodland that produces very rare, world class examples of this natural artwork.

Once the wood is milled and dried the fungi dies off and beautiful results are locked in place waiting to be revealed by our chisels. Between the time in the woodland and then air drying it can be 6-8 years after the tree came down before we get our hands on this material and our challenge is to make sure that we do it justice and turn something truly beautiful from it.

The Sensai shape is turned with a raised, sculptural profile that puts the timber's grain and figure on full display.

Recommended for dry / ornamental use however this bowl it will also be at home on a dining table holding fruit.
