Alfred Schembri — Wed, 22 Sep 2021 15:30:35 +0000

A unique bowl with a lid. The bottom is made from a beautiful piece of highly figured walnut and the top is made from a piece of spalted maple. This box measures 9 inches in diameter by 5 inches tall. A celtic knot was designed and hand burned on the lid which fits in a recess on the bowl. Multiple coats of lacquer were applied to protect the wood and the embellishments. The bottom of the bowl is signed by me and also the type of wood used. This is definitely a conversation piece whether displayed on its own or a collection.

This is a beautiful large figured Maple bowl with a natural edge and measures 6 1/4 inches by 16 inches. The size, grain figure and shape in this bowl are spectacular, unique and one of a kind. I was able to keep the wood grain pattern in the middle of the bowl which further enhanced the overlook shape and design. This will definitely be a conversation piece whether shown in the middle of a kitchen table or displayed on its own. I signed the bottom of the bowl which also features the spices of wood used. Several coats of lacquer finish were applied to preserve the wood and bark.
