A simple swamp kauri bowl to hold fruit.  Aunty isn't into shiny things, so is finished off with Coopers Wood Moisturiser which provides a good matt finish.  Bowl is 250mm diameter.

Walking along a Gisborne beach, a short length of driftwood stood out.  I told my wife it thought it looked a bit like a whale...to which she said 'Yeah right'!  And so the challenge was on!  Wood is unknown.  Rich in colour (like Rata), but is too light.  Not sure what it is.  Danish oil finish.  Size is 300mm high and 400 wide.

Found deep within a production pine forest a row of dead and dying trees were located.  Believed to be Sycamore, several of them had notable full stem gnarly burls.  This fragile piece is rich in larval tunnels and was turned with care and low speed.  300mm diameter.
