Handmade Wooden Homeware

A burr elm vessel with the tree's bark left in place around the rim.

Burr elm is the wood I look forward to most. This piece is a warm reddish brown, covered in tight swirling eyes and small dark pips. The contrasting bark sits against it. The figure runs right round, so there's no back to turn to the wall. Turn it a quarter and it's a different piece.

It suits a shelf, a table or a mantelpiece. Bark edges are naturally uneven and a little rough to the touch, and burr wood carries small voids and dark inclusions.

Both are part of the tree and neither affects how the piece holds together.

An ash bowl for the things that collect by the front door - keys, coins, the odd stray screw.

Ash is pale cream, and the grain here runs round the outside in clean lines rather than swirls, so the shape stays the main event.

Low in one side there's a small knot, dark against the pale wood - but smooth under your thumb. It's where a branch once left the trunk, and it's how you'll always know this bowl from any other.

Good for nuts and fruit on the table, or for whatever needs a home around the house.

Knots like this are natural to solid wood. It's sound and sealed under the finish, and it doesn't affect how the bowl is used or how well it holds together.

Approx. 14.5 cm diameter x 7 cm height.

Hand-turned from a single block of Scottish sycamore. Perhaps the palest of the native hardwoods, with a creamy white with a close, even grain and very little figure to distract from the shape.

Sycamore has been the wood for kitchen treen for centuries because it's odourless and won't taint what is put in them. With a rounded belly perfect for nuts, crisps or trinkets.

There's some light discolouration to it – a faint shadow picked up while the timber was drying.

It tells a story - a part of the tree's history and doesn't affect how the bowl works.
