Silver Birch Bowl - Shou Sugi Ban
This flat top round bowl carved from silver birch. The exterior texture is the result of the finished rough hewing with the carving axe. The exterior has been burned lightly using the traditional Japanese art of Shou Sugi Ban. Used not only for visual appeal, Sugi Ban is a great way of preventing wood from decay and insect damage. The interior gouge work is more subtle but also rough and deep enough to create an interesting visual and textural appeal. I finishing the bowl by oiling it with raw cold pressed linseed oil, which means it is 100% safe to eat out of.
