OUTSTANDING HUGE TURNED WOODEN BOWL by Patrick H Lindsay

Over 2ft wide
Created from a huge piece of wood and involving years of drying out / lathe turning, this is an exceptional bowl .

Spalted Beech with small bark inclusions and separations strengthened with brass powder.
Beautifully balanced with a turned in rim.
Initialled on the base by Patrick H Lindsay.
Most of this type of wood goes for veneers and so pieces this large are extremely rare.
A quite astonishing piece of work which has taken many years to complete. In a gallery this piece would be listed in £thousands, not hundreds. Please take a moment to look at the choice of wood and the meticulous attention to detail and finish.


Photography cannot convey the "presence" of this piece, its` beauty to the touch and feel, as well as to the eye.

Finished in 3 coats of Danish Oil 

This is a huge bowl - - 25 inches by 7  inches approx.

THIS PIECE COMES WITH ITS OWN UNIQUE CERTIFICATE SIGNED BY PATRICK LINDSAY

"The special dignity of great trees, the varied patterns of sapwood, heartwood, burl, bark, different for each species, the visual and tactile elegance of beautiful finishes, and the subtle grace of many bowl shapes captured my eye and my heart."   Edward Jacobson.

Patrick H Lindsay is entered upon the Register of Professional Turners. His award winning work is the result of many years of meticulous labour. He specialises in large bowls and hollow forms. Larger bowls often involve obtaining the whole tree, and the roughed out piece may weigh 5 cwt. These may take 3 years to dry out, and involve many returns to the lathe before being finally finished. Getting the ultra smooth finish which is a Patrick Lindsay trademark, involves working through 5 - 10 grades of sandpaper, working over a period of time to get the required finish (all by hand). The equipment to produce such large bowls required an investment of over £10,000, including 2 British made VB36 lathes. With many slow growing tree varieties used, much of his work may have been 100 years or more in the making. All of his pieces are initialled and every one is totally unique.

Patrick Lindsay creations make wonderful, original and lasting gifts. They continue to give pleasure for years, the wood gradually changing hue and shade to create new interest and beauty. Beautiful wood appeals to a basic human instinct and is appreciated by almost everyone.
