Painted nest of 4

A nested set of four bowls made from a single piece of birch wood. If the bowls are aligned correctly, you can see the grain patterns running through all four.

Turning nests of bowls on a pole lathe has taken me 5 years to learn. Along the way i had to learn to make the special tools required and also master how to use them. As far as I am aware, I am one of only 3 people in the world with the ability to turn nests of bowls like these.

Turned on a pole lathe from birch and finished with Cold Pressed Linseed oil and milk paint
