new bowls

This part of my gallery is for more unusual one off bowls, and regular updates on current stock other bowls, plates and silver rimmed quaichs can be found using the toolbar at the top.

 These small bowls are perfect for serving olives, made from spalted beech and sycamore, 4-5" diameter they are £15 each, 4 for £50

 In Sweden they paint a lot of bowls. I love it. This one is painted with home made linseed based paint with natural pigment I bought in Sweden 7" £55

Ten years ago I used to scorch a lot of bowls inspired by black earthenware which was being imported from South America at the time. I still use quite a few of these bowls at home and like them a lot so I thought it was time to do some more.  These three are sycamore and 7.5" and £55 each.

 scalloped edge bowl in stunning beech 6.5" £59 sold

 set of small bowls, five in this photo but there are six as seen below.

 small bowls 6.5" £35 each though I would love them to go as a set so if you want them all they would be £180

 a very special bur maple mazer bowl 5" diameter £95 inspired by this one from the V&A

 a simple deep eating bowl in sycamore 6.5" £49 sold

a simple thin turned beech bowl I love this one, a perfect breakfast bowl. 6.5" £49

 This bowl is huge, a great sycamore bowl 15" diameter turned in a very traditional style. Use it to rise your bread dough in or as a magnificent table centerpiece filled with salad or bread. This one is £325 SOLD

Nest of bowls like this are rarer than Ferraries or Saville Row suits. It took me years of trial and error to learn to cut one bowl inside another inside another from one piece of wood but the results are worth it. I  only make two or three big nests a year so it's unlikely I'll make more than 100 in my lifetime. This one in sycamore could be yours for £395. Largest bowl 14" diameter. SOLD

Here are some nice individual bowls, mazers and quaiches I hope you can find something here that you like the look of. To order simply send me an email or post in the comments box at the bottom. UK P&P is £7.50 and you can pay by cheque or paypal.

These quaichs were all sold but I liked them so am leaving the pic here for a bit.

I have not had time to make any of these recently but this is a very special nesting set of bowls all cut from one piece of wood one inside the other.

 This particular nest is made of alder and is the one I was photographed turning in Country Living magazine for the Balvenie Artisan of the Year award. The picture below shows the size of them £455

All the bowls from this post were sold but I am leaving this set showing for a while just because I am proud of them.

6 And finally, this is perhaps the most special piece I have offered for sale on the web. This set of bowls was turned from a single piece of wonderful spalted beech. I turned it on 15th Dec 2009 51 years to the day after George Lailey "the last bowlturner" died. You can see how it was made in this video of me making the first of my George Lailey commemorative sets, I decided not to sell the first set, it means too much to me.

The diameters of these bowls are 15", 11",  8", and  5", whilst a stunning and unique collectors piece I do hope they go to someone who will use them too. They will improve with age and use.

This very special set is £575 SOLD
