Chestnut bowl with a handle

This chestnut bowl was inspired by the pattern of an ancient fisher’s net that Takashi Tomii found in his grandfather’s house. Everything, including the handle, is chiselled and planed from a single block of wood. Chestnut has a whitish tint but this piece is coated with wood ash dissolved in water and finished with beeswax to give it a tasteful brown colour.
