Large Swedish Rustic Burl Bowl

Offered by: Yew Tree House

Description
Good Swedish 18th Century birch burl bowl of organic form and having a pleasing dry patina, with extremely characterful repaired split. Unusually large and hard to find size and in perfect “as found” condition.
Burls, the natural occurring growths found on many trees, are characterized by tight, swirling and intertwined grain. Because of this, when the wood dries it does not split and crack the way most straight grained wood tends to do, so it was found to be a great medium for bowls and food containers. Unlike the North American burl bowls which were turned or thrown on a lathe, the Swedish examples were rough hewn or “dugout” around the organic shape of the burl itself making for an endless variety of shapes and sizes.
