Description

This lovely bowl was turned from a crotch piece of an elm tree we salvaged in 2020.

A crotch on a tree is where the trunk grows into 2 or more trunks, this has the effect of producing beautiful grain figure in between the trunks.

The bark flew off while turning so I sanded smooth the natural shape of the log around the rim.

The small cracks in the knots give this piece a unique natural look.

This bowl was sanded to 400 grit and finished with multiple coats of pure tung oil.

Tung oil is a non-toxic, hard-drying oil that penetrates the wood to form a matte finish which emphasize the grain and color.
