Sycamore Pot I by Robert George
Timber from trees Robert has sourced himself direct from site either through storm damage or being felled for sound arboricultural reasons, is taken back to his yard where it is sorted for best use. Smaller and awkward sections of timber are mounted on the lathe to be turned, these will form vessels of varying sizes and give an exciting opportunity for creativity. Traditional off the shelf turning tools are used and Robert often pushes these to the absolute limit to produce work of great scale and technicality, with pieces often thin enough that light can be seen permeating its surface.
