This elm bowl has so much character, it can’t be contained. It’s bursting out of the cracks, grooves and even a small hole. The incredible burl pattern is highlighted on two sides by traditional elm grain with its dark/light contrast. It would be a stunning accent piece on a mantel or table; it could also be a fun way to serve snacks.
Height: 3-3/4”
Top Diameter: 6-1/2”
Bottom Diameter: 3”
Kevin Smith is a Supervisory Plant Physiologist with the U.S. Forest Service and Affiliate Professor of Biology at the University of New Hampshire. He studies how plants and fungi capture energy, grow and protect themselves. He describes burls as fast-expanding masses of abnormal growth caused by some sort of infection by bacteria, fungi, or insects. While the process of burl formation is still somewhat of a mystery, these growths are highly prized by woodturners for their amazing patterns.
