Skye Hignett Pōhutukawa and Rimu Raised Wooden Bowl
Made in Aotearoa/New Zealand from Pōhutukawa sourced from the Thames Coast, and reclaimed Rimu. Finished with tung oil. This medium-sized bowl has a bark inclusion on the top which is accentuated by the rippled waves.
Based in Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland, Skye (Ngāti Tutemohuta) discovered woodturning after the birth of her first child. She loves to create simple and functional pieces that emphasise the natural beauty and warmth of wood, and embrace its imperfections. Knots, burls, cracks, and nail holes are not seen as defects, but tell a story of the life of the wood, and it’s journey.
Please note: The bottom has a small hairline crack (as pictured) which likely formed as the wood dried. It is not a defect, but a natural characteristic of the wood. If maintained well and kept out of direct sunlight and high humidity environments, this should not crack further.
