This Sapele bowl is a striking piece of functional art, prized for its warm reddish-brown tones, interlocked grain, and subtle iridescence. Sapele is an African hardwood often compared to mahogany for its colour and figure, but it has a slightly darker and more dramatic appearance with fine, silk-like chatoyancy when finished well. Roger has turned this bowl beautifully and it shows in the finished piece. Roger has created a lovely profile to the side of the bowl.
This Sapele bowl measures approx: 17cm x 5cm
