Australian Red Mallee Burl-Large hand- Sculpted Natural Edge Bowl #8 $350
A striking work of Australian timber art, showcasing the extraordinary grain, rich colours and sculptural beauty of Red Mallee Burl.
This exceptionally long Red Mallee Burl has been individually hand -sculptured in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales by the Wentworth Falls Wood turner, a craftsman with over 40 years of wood turning experience.
Its substantial dimensions and naturally irregular shape make conventional lathe-turning impractical instead, the burl has been carefully sculptured allowing the craftsman to follow and preserve the timber’s unique natural colours.
The rugged live edge has been retained, creating a beautiful contrast with the smooth, carefully carved and polished interior.
The rich colours, intricate interlocking grain and dramatic swirling patters are characteristic of Mallee Burl, giving this remarkable piece its own distinctive personality.
Each curve and contour have been individually shaped with careful attention to preserving the natura beauty of the timber.
The burl weighs approximately 3.3 Kg, is some 520 mm long 290 mm wide and has a 55 mm
depth and has been finished and sealed with Teak oil to enhance the grain and provide a durable protective surface.
The elongated form and sculptural character make this substantial piece particularly impressive as a standalone work of natural timber art.
