Crafting Wooden English Walnut Bowls
In my Scottish workshop, every English walnut bowl begins with a carefully selected piece of locally sourced timber. Walnut is a prized hardwood — dense, beautifully grained, and a joy to work with on the lathe. Its natural richness and variation make it ideal for turning bowls that are both striking and long-lasting.
Each bowl begins as a solid block of British-grown walnut, chosen for its character and potential. As I turn, I respond to what the wood offers — the curves it wants to take, the markings it holds, the balance between dark heartwood and pale sapwood.
The finished bowl is never just a container. It’s a piece of the landscape, held in your hands

To keep your walnut bowl looking its best, wipe it clean with a damp cloth and dry it immediately. Don’t soak it or put it in the dishwasher. You can refresh the finish occasionally with a light coat of food-safe oil or wax — this helps protect the wood and enhances its natural colour.
