Item Description
"Handcrafted to reveal the inner beauty of the wood," is not a statement to be taken lightly. Bronx-based woodturner and regular Rocking the Boat auction contributor Ivan Braun creates his recycled wood art from trees salvaged from New York City's urban forest. Ivan handcrafted this particular 13"x3" bowl from an exceptionally large burl that grew on a massive red oak tree in the Bronx. The 200+ year old tree was taken down when it weakened and was threatening to fall on the house it had shaded for close to a century. Whether it serves as a fruit bowl, a gallery piece for your home, or a unique gift for another, you'll know it has deep soul. "When I was growing up, my grandfather's basement workshop was a place of magic where, for a time, three generations of men in my family came together. I still recall those dark corners filled with tools, the smells of sawdust and oil and watching my grandfather and father repair furniture and make all sorts of interesting things."
