This form has been turned from a piece of a piece of evergreen or Holly Oak (Quercus Ilex), the tree was storm damages and felled on an estate in Devon. This is one of Andy's favorite pieces you never know what you will find under the bark and in this case there is subtle "quilting" thich are longitudinal lines running in the opposite direction to the grain.
This has been turned and hollowed by Andy, hollowing into the end grain showcases the timber's growth rings and showcases the unique swirl of the grain and the medullary rays which can be seen in the base if the form.
Sanded to 400 grit and then finished with a microcrystalline wax this is a tactile piece which is just a happy being handled as being displayed in your home
