Handmade wooden bowl - Heartfelt sensibility
Description
Hand-carved artisanal wooden bowl - French craftsmanship
Made from "red" chestnut wood from the Cévennes in Lozère
A few kilometers as the crow flies from my workshop lies a chestnut grove.
A friend regularly visits to collect wood that has died standing or fallen during storms. He gives me a trunk from it.
You can already see a color darker than classic chestnut. A reddish-brown, whose origin we cannot truly explain, but whose depth of color is easy to appreciate.
You can also see its heart already attacked by fungi.
I turn it anyway, come what may of this weakened heart.
In awe of its grain, I carve, hollow out, and sand.
The shakes, characteristic of this species, appear.
I decide to remove the already crumbling heart of the tree and define it with a scalpel.
The piece now has a quite singular shape; its delicate edge can now let light pass through and let time take its place again.
