The art of woodturning begins with a special piece of wood, with the most rare and prized being a burl. A burl is an irregular growth on the side of a tree, characterized by unique and intricate patterns and grain.
Brian was given this maple burl from his sister who has a farm in Wingham. The discarded knob from a dead tree has a new life as a bowl, with unexpected beauty, colour variations and a live bark edge.
