Скачать или смотреть Woodturning - Wild Olive Root

This bowl is made from Wild Olive Root, measuring 450mm wide and 300mm high. It’s a unique blend of traditional woodturning and hand-sculpting — part-turned on the lathe and part-carved by hand.

The piece is composed of three separate sections, joined together using 6mm brass rods. The rim features a heavily textured finish, adding contrast and depth. For a smooth, refined surface, it was sanded with ultra-fine 1200 grit sandpaper and polished to a subtle sheen.

Interestingly, this was my first time experimenting with brass as a connector in a bowl. The idea was born from a mistake — the bowl actually fell and broke into three pieces. Rather than scrap it, I embraced the accident and turned it into a creative opportunity.

This project was definitely challenging, but in the end, it turned out to be one of the most rewarding pieces I’ve made.
