About My Handmade Wooden Bowls
My work is mostly made from oak, spalted beech, English Walnut and ash. However, other woods will pop up in the shop from time to time.
Each hand-turned item is unique and showcases the natural beauty of the wood. These hand made items are perfect for serving dry food, storing items, or simply as a showcase piece of home decor.
My work is also great for keeping small items together. Be it keys, jewellery, marbles (as is the case for me son…) or any other trinkets.
Wooden bowls have adorned tables and kitchens for centuries, offering a classic touch to any decor.
Whether you use them for serving salads, displaying fruits, or simply as decorative pieces, wooden bowls add warmth and charm to any setting.

Crafting Wooden Bowls
In my workshop in Midlothian, I take great care in selecting British hardwoods to create every wooden bowl on the lathe. Hardwood is the perfect choice for bowls due to its density and durability, making it resistant to wear and tear. This density also contributes to the longevity and aesthetic appeal of the bowls, as hardwoods offer a beautiful finish with rich and varied grain patterns.
I often choose hardwoods such as oak, cherry, and beech for their robustness and the depth of character they bring to the finished product.
