Hand-turned Wooden Lidded Bowl - Possibly Yew



SOLD


Nice round hand-turned wooden bowl with lid. The bowl has been varnished with a very clear, natural varnish. There are a couple of very light marks on each side but these appear to be natural and will become less noticeable with use.

13.5cm diameter x 10cm.

Hand Turned Ironwood Candle Holder



Unusually shaped dark reddish brown candleholder, hand turned from a very heavy piece of what appears to be mahogany or some kind of ironwood or lignum vitae (can you detect some bet hedging?). The bowl and stem are plain, the base bowl is carved with what could be a rhino and something similar. It is probably a souvenir but a well made one nevertheless. There are one or two very small marks but these mainly seem to be largely natural. It does look to have been stained but it is quite an impressive little piece nonetheless.

14cm x 7cm
