The small lidded vessels are made from remnants
from the custom cabinet shop. The lids and finials are made from recycled
flooring taken from a construction site. The other bowls came from urban trees
that were cut down by a fellow that keeps his trucks and equipment next door to
our shop. All were turned wet (freshly cut) and allowed to dry. Most of the time
as they dry they shrink and deform, sometimes cracking. The woods include
pittosporum, live oak, cherry and avocado. Seth Harpending - Shop Forman
