Tall wooden bowl

This large wooden bowl was hand turned on a lathe from wet chestnut wood. It assumed its final form while drying. Because of the contraction of wood while it dries, working with wet wood can be quite complicated and unpredictable as the wood can crack while drying naturally. This bowl has not been heavily worked on after being turned, leaving the wood grain and holey surface apparent.
