Description
Hand Carved Bowl in Aged Brown Oak, a sculptural organic creation
This unique sculptural organic hand carved bowl crafted from a richly charactered piece of old brown oak, is a true celebration of natural form and artisan craftsmanship. Countless hours went into carving and shaping this piece, both inside and out, to bring out its unique organic contours and textures.
The interior has been meticulously scolloped by hand, forming a landscape of miniature, half-indented circles that create a striking visual rhythm and tactile experience. This detailed surface captures light beautifully and highlights the natural grain, knots, and depth of the oak.
The outside has again been formed to accentuate the beauty and live edge detail of an old piece of Oak.
Its undulating edge and deep natural texture give it a presence that’s as wild as it is refined, a piece that feels unearthed as much as it does crafted.
A Celebration of Oak Character, Craftsmanship and Creation in a Hand Carved Bowl
A particularly striking feature of this hand carved bowl is the central void, a charred natural hollow that speaks to the story of the wood itself. Rather than being hidden or filled, this element has been embraced, adding drama and authenticity to the piece. It draws the eye and invites conversation, turning the bowl into a sculptural centrepiece rather than a simple vessel.
Finished with multiple coats of high-quality oil, the oak bowl has a deep, lustrous sheen that enhances the wood’s natural warmth while providing lasting protection. The final result is both sculptural and functional, a statement piece that brings the soul of the forest into any home.
It’s equally suited to a rustic farmhouse interior or a contemporary minimalist setting, bringing a sense of calm, connection and raw natural beauty. Whether admired from a distance or explored up close, it invites pause and appreciation.
Whether placed on a table, console or shelf, it adds depth and narrative to any room. This is a piece that rewards close attention, the more you look, the more you see: layers of texture, subtle shifts in tone, and the quiet evidence of hand and time.
