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

Bowl Gallery

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
