Stithians Cherry no. 32

I was offered a whole cherry tree on a plot of land set for development in 2017. The smaller parts of the tree have been allowed to season well and now are perfect for turning, producing lovely shavings and a finish to be admired!

The live edge bark has stayed on perfectly and even a few pieces of moss have held on! However they may eventually come off or stop being green!

Any cracks you see on this bowl were already there when I turned this piece, which occur during the drying process and should not expand significantly.

Dimensions (approx)

Width : 210mm (8 1/4”)
Height : 70mm (2 3/4”)

Finished with a blend of pure organic Cornish beeswax (Gwenen apiaries) and organic uk grown and produced hemp oil (vitality hemp)
I blend the two myself to create the ideal ratio for nourishing and protecting the wood.

Laser engraved on the base.

All my items are made entirely by me in my cornish workshop near St Ives.
