Handmade Natural Edge Oak Bowl
I made this little Natural Edge Bowl from a tree that shed a few big branches from hurricane Ian in 2022. The tree is still standing, alive and well, while the bits have been drying in my warehouse.
Coordinates to the actual tree: 28.501717, -81.378760
I turned this branch end to end so the end grain appears on the sides. It shows a lot of character from the spalted oak and wormholes from Ambrosia Beetles. I dug out all of the wood powder poop with a pick and glossed over the trails left behind heavily with shellac.
