Description:
Made through a collaborative process of woodturning and chiselling, this hand carved bowl made from ash wood and finished with a hard wax oil and spoon made from cherry wood and finished with a ceramic finish showcase the beauty in the natural characteristics and of the wood. Takahashi McGil balances a minimal sensibility with dynamic textures, contrasting a smooth interior with a pinched surface.
