Lace Oak Bowl with Natural Edge by Greg Kent
Greg collects his wood from local tree surgeons that would have otherwise been used as firewood. The wood is then 'turned green'; whilst it is still wet, and then sandblasted once it has dried to reveal a lace-like effect by removing the soft spring growth.
