Vessel

Beech bowl with Walnuts.

This was the first bowl I made around eight years ago with windfall Beech from Ashdown Forest.  It is still my favourite vessel for soups and stews and always takes me back to the memory of carving it by the camp fire among great friends.

Spalted Beech Spatula

This spatula has just been wiped over with Flax Seed Oil to seal it after being carved. As usual great care was taken to ensure the surface was made smooth with a knife to avoid the use of sand paper.
