From Michael Attwood Woodturning
An iconic Camphor tree in my local neighbourhood had a large limb removed for safety reasons. A timely rescue from the wood-chipper has given this section of tree a new purpose, with many sections stored and drying for future projects.
This natural edge bowl was turned part way through the drying process, giving the wood an opportunity to move and relax post-completion. While the piece has retained its smooth, refined finish, some interesting textural elements have emerged thereby enhancing the natural aesthetic.
Wood Species: Camphor Laurel
Measures: 28cm Diameter, 20cm Height, 16cm Base Diameter
Finish: Oil/Wax Blend (Fine Buffing Oil)
Time to Complete: 10 Hours
