Unveiling Treasures: The Newly Listed Legacy Bowls
As the wood shavings settle and the hum of the lathe fades into the background of my workshop, I find myself in a reflective mood, poised on the cusp of creation and reminiscence. Today marks a special occasion, one that has been brewing quietly behind the scenes of KnotWright Woodworking. I'm thrilled to announce that a collection of bowls, each with its own unique story and crafted with care throughout 2022 and 2023, is finally making its debut on our website.
A Journey Through Time
These bowls are not just pieces of wood turned with precision and artistry; they are time capsules, embodying moments of inspiration, challenge, and growth. Completed over the last two years, each bowl has waited patiently for its moment to shine, carefully stored and now ready to find a new home.
The Legacy Curves Segmented Bowl
Among these treasures is the "Legacy Curves Segmented Bowl," a piece that encapsulates the essence of mentorship and friendship. Its exaggerated curves and chunky form reflect my early days as a turner, a time of exploration and learning. Crafted from a wood blank provided by the widow of a dear friend, this bowl carries with it a story of continuity and remembrance.
The Lucky Penny Bowl
Then there's the "Lucky Penny Bowl," a testament to creativity and serendipity. Faced with an unexpected challenge, a drilled hole too deep, I found a solution in embedding a lucky penny, transforming a potential flaw into a feature filled with charm and character.
The Spalted Birch and Walnut Wonders
Not to be overlooked are bowls crafted from spalted birch and walnut, each telling tales of rescue and revival. The spalted birch candle holder, adorned with malachite and born from a piece of rotting birch, and the walnut bowl with its mother of pearl, a memory of a cherished family tree, showcase the beauty that can emerge from nature's trials.
Invitation to Connect
As I prepare to head back to the shop and embark on new projects, I invite you to explore these newly listed creations. Each bowl is not just an object of beauty and utility but a piece of my journey as a craftsman. They represent the intersection of past experiences and future aspirations, the tangible outcomes of lessons learned, and the relationships that have shaped my path.
Stay Tuned
With these pieces now available for purchase, I'm eager to turn my attention to what's next. The workshop calls, and with it, the promise of new stories to craft and share. Keep an eye on our site and social media for glimpses of what's emerging on the lathe and beyond.
