Medium Salad Bowl in Irish Ash
Ireland & Northern Ireland, delivery is next Business Day.
Check out this amazing handcrafted Bowl made from real Irish Ash and turned by a professional Woodturner. Cut from the tree, dried and then finished in my workshop in Tralee over a period of 2 years this Bowl would make an amazing gift! Medium is the perfect table serving size.
This beautiful medium to large sized food-safe bowl comes from Tralee Co. Kerry. The tree it came from was taken down as part of a new development and I managed to stop it from being turned into firewood. Ash is my favourite wood to work with and this tree turned out to be very special indeed. I used to live in Oakpark where this tree came from so it adds a touch of nostalgia for me too.
As I continue on my journey as a Woodturner, my techniques change and I begin to experiment with new bowl shapes, features and finishes. The rough turned shape of the wood when it was wet ultimately dictates the final finish shape of the bowl but some small aspects can be changed. This bowl features a inward curved and undercut rim which I think works quite well on this bowl.
I don't normally include knots in my bowls but I saw some potential in the rough turned bowl. I'm glad I went ahead because the knot is perfect, without damage and the grain around the knot is spectacular. You can see where the growth around the knot has caused quilting to the grain on one side. Definitely a keeper! This bowl would look amazing on any table or display surface.
Finish sanded to a highly smooth touch. For food convenience, it is coated with a new Hard Wax Oil After Care details will be sent with each bowl.
Because of the durable finish, this bowl can also just be used for display long term. Please note that washing the bowl may change or diminish the shine on the surface.

I'm a Woodturner and Woodcrafter from Tralee Co. Kerry Ireland and I run a full time business from my workshop at home. I also teach Woodturning to anyone interested in my studio and have taken on students from most of Munster and further afield.
I'm a member of both the Design and Crafts Council of Ireland and Original Kerry Craft Group. I always wanted to have a home based business and the last recession gave me the push I needed to make a start. Although a qualified Carpenter for years, I had never actually cut and dried fresh hardwood before so since 2014 I have been doing just that.
My style of turning suits my personality. I get bored of repetition and I like to go with the flow. When I see an interesting grain pattern emerge on the lathe I try to feature it as much as possible. I don’t like using guides, templates or storyboards at all now. My woodturning is constantly evolving and changing. Rather than doing batch lots of the same pieces over and over again, I turn a group of pieces and then analyze and progress them in the follow up pieces. Looking back through my pieces you should be able to see a clear evolution and progression of design.
I see myself as a conservationist and I often have to argue with fallen tree owners where they want to cut the trees into firewood and I want to create something beautiful. It’s such a pity that people see trees as a source of income or heating a small room in the house being totally destroyed in the process. While my turning does destroy the tree too, at least there is something remaining that is as beautiful as the once standing tree.
A portion of my sales now go towards a hardwood tree planting organisation in the West of Ireland called Hometree. Please look them up online and donate to a worthy cause. It is so hard to make a living from Woodcraft alone so I have branched out into other retail items. Any purchase you make from me goes a long way. Thank you for reading.
