Frynkek Mor

Walnut serving bowl - Frynkek is the Cornish word for Walnut whilst Mor means Sea.

Walnut trees are not common in Cornwall and to have a mature Walnut fall in a storm less than a mile from my workshop makes this a once in a lifetime opportunity to work with genuinely sustainable Cornish grown Walnut.

One of the largest bowls I have ever turned, made from the widest, cleanest section of trunk. The outside of this super serving bowl showcases the best of Walnut colour and contrast while the inside, painted with naturally durable milk paint in shades of the Cornish ocean features a carved tideline around the inner rim.

This bowl measures 13" / 33cm in diameter and stands 4.5" / 11.5cm high.

Differences in density between the dark heartwood and lighter sapwood have caused some warping during the drying process giving this bowl a beautifully organic stance.

Painted with naturally durable milk paint and finished with food safe oils, this bowl is suitable for daily use.
