Crafting Wooden Bowls

In my workshop in Midlothian, I take great care in selecting British hardwoods to create every wooden bowl on the lathe. I put my heart and soul into each bowl, ensuring it reflects the distinct beauty of the wood used. In this way, every piece is unique, not just a bowl, but a functional piece of art that you'll be proud to display in your home.

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.
