Hand Made Tree Trunk Yakisugi Fruit Bowl - Charred Wood
$90
Since feudal times in Japan and the Baltic states, charred wood has been used as a decorative element to not only beautify wood but also make it more resistant to decay, fire and infestation. In Japan, the tradition of charred wood finishes is known as Yakisugi or Shou Sugi Ban.
This hand carved fruit bowl was made from a segment of Norfolk Pine from a tree that was felled in Guildford more than 5 years ago. The wood was cut from a longer trunk when Workshop 87 made a pair of bedside tables, and has now been turned into a fruit bowl. The bowl has been tilted on its side so that it rests against one edge of the base and two of the ends of the branches that radiate in a ring from the trunk. The top and inside of the tree trunk segment was hollowed out by hand using a vintage adze, before being smoothed with a spokeshaved and hand sanded.
The charred wood effect was created by putting the bowl to the flame and charring the wood evenly on all of the sides and the inside of the bowl that the fruit rests on. Finally, it was given a light coat of varnish to protect the wood and to protect whatever you put within the bowl from the charred wood. The wood is now completely sealed and clean.
Shou Sugi Ban and Yakisugi was recently shown on the TV Program 'Flip or Flop' where they ised the charred wood effect on a fence.
It would be incredibly unlikely we will ever make another fruit bowl like this one, as we probably won't come across another piece of wood like this again.
The bowl, including pictures of it being made, can be seen on our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/Workshop87-1024209814310576/
