Singapore Bowl
Wax finish

Inspired by the Singapore balls I make, (see ‘Other pieces’) this bowl was a big challenge to produce. It is made from birch ply and the retracting points are ebony. The interior is black and the rim decorated with a design of interlocking circles with black segments. You will not see another bowl like this one!

Bowl & Chain
Wax Finish

This large bowl was made from sycamore and then bleached white to increase the contrast with the links of the ball and chain which are turned from solid ebony.

Laburnum
Wax finish

I think laburnum is amongst the most attractive of English timbers and is certainly a most attractive tree. This bowl is remarkable for its size, if nothing else, as laburnum trees don’t often grow to large sizes.

Sycamore
Wax finish

An unusual bowl, this one is textured both inside and underneath. The texturing on the underside produce a tactile sensation when the bowl is handled, and that on top provides visual interest.

Sycamore
Wax finish

The smaller of these two bowls was made by removing the centre of the larger bowl in one piece - a technique known as ‘bowlsaving’. This particular piece of sycamore was large enough to apply the technique and has a very attractive ripple which made the effort worthwhile

Yew
Wax finish

A simple design which allows one of the most beautiful of English woods to speak for itself. In yew, the difference between the creamy white sapwood and the golden brown heartwood always adds to a piece
