The Handmade Process:
This trinket bowl came from a beautiful local tree that was destroyed during a strong winter storm. Jeff cut, cleared, and harvested the tree’s wood with his chainsaw and then prepped all of the logs for storage to prevent them from cracking. After a few months, he picked out a log and rough-cut a circular shape using his chainsaw. He then turned the piece into a bowl on his lathe. To create a trinket bowl, he cored out a small bowl from the larger bowl. He then textured the outside of the bowl using a power carving tool and sanded the bowl until it was smooth. The bowl then sat in the solar kiln for several months to naturally dry into a fun “wonky” shape. Once the bowl was dry and sanitized, Melissa sketched a design onto the dish using a pencil. She then darkened the sketch with a wood burning tool. Final touches included signing and sealing the piece with several layers of polyurethane.
