A maple burl before turning |
Burls, with their rough edges, bark inclusions, cracks and irregular surfaces, appeal to people who love rugged contrasts in nature. It is always interesting to see visitors to Brian's studio as they gravitate to different styles of wood. Some prefer smooth surfaces while others are immediately drawn to the tactile dimensions of burls.
The woman who recently purchased this sugar maple burl bowl knew that it would sit perfectly on her kitchen island. She was excited about serving fruit or cheese and crackers on the the bowl and the visual introduction of natural, organic textures to her city home.
