Bowl was hand/foot made on spring pole lathe. Ebonised on the inside to highlight the rustic surface left by the hook tools, exterior milk painted black over marigold, 155 x 140 x 65mm.
To get the ebonised affect steel wool is steeped in white vinegar and the chemical reaction makes a stain which reacts uniquely with different species of wood!
