Bay Tree Live‑Edge Bowl

Crafted from Bay Tree sourced as a windfall via Facebook Marketplace, this piece brings together natural elegance and bold grain character. The timber’s warm tones and distinctive bark make it a standout material for live‑edge turning.

Measuring 130mm high with a generous 270mm diameter, this bowl has real presence. The dark, beautifully smooth bark forms a striking natural rim, while the exposed end‑grain reveals subtle, organic splitting that adds depth and authenticity to the piece.

Finished with Chestnut cellulose sanding sealer and Chestnut Microcrystalline Wax, the surface is fully food‑safe and toy‑safe, offering a smooth, durable sheen that enhances the natural colour of the wood.

Turned using a live‑edge bowl technique, this piece celebrates the raw beauty of the Bay Tree — tactile, characterful, and full of movement. It makes a wonderful centrepiece, talking point, or functional display bowl.
