'Stone' bowl #26

25cm x 20cm - Carved from a single piece of aged oak by designer and wood carver Jamie Gaunt.  This piece came together from a very old piece of oak that had been drying slowly outside for decades.  Already containing an incredible array of beautiful patterning, the natural ageing in the elements over years, enriched it with a depth of colour, texture and emotion that could never be synthesised or shortcut.    A stunning cracked and warped piece that celebrates all that is so alluring and captivating in oak.
