Spalted Beech Bowl with Beads
This is one of my very favorite bowls! This spalting is exquisite, and the beads help lift and define the form!
When this tree fell in a snowstorm, my friends let me gather the good stuff! I was able to create the right conditions to get the wood to spalt. This is effect caused by fungus that invade the wood, changing the color and depositing dark lines of carbon. When caught early, the strength of the wood is not compromised and the work of the fungus remains. Don’t worry, it’s safe for food contact!
