Oak & Elm

[woodndesign]

I do so like the Elm, beautiful rich dark color, almost full burr given the size. It's not unusual to find them with even richer diverse colors, even a shade of green or purples, could be due to the location grown, not seen such a nice piece myself lately, that most don't make it pass hedge sticks, small size growth before they die again sadly.

The Oak such a stunning warm piece, elegant flowing from and soft color.

Can't fault either... as there ear marked as gifts .. no chance ..

Cheers  David

Hi Tony & Di.
        I like the Oak one but even though the Elm is a nicely executed piece I don't really like it. Probably because I have never been a fan of roll overs. I always think they look like dog bowls I'm afraid. Marmite indeed!

  Thank You David...... Large Elms especially with burrs are as you say getting harder to find. The one used for this piece
  was only a baby burr.... This photo is mummy bear I am waiting for someone who wants a rather large bowl its 42 inches
