Reposted from @maudandmabellondon ........ “We like to think our work has a strong connection to nature whether that's visible in the material itself with voids and natural edge or how the wood naturally moves as it’s drying. Or how the size and shape of the wood we get quite often dictates the final shape and size… The end of each process has its own exciting part. After each step it suddenly becomes more whole which is the best part.” Handcarved by Takahashi McGill, the renowned collaborative duo who create beautifully delicate hand turned pieces made from wood, such as ash and beech. This exciting new body of work is finished with an assortment of urushi, which helps to make the wood waterproof and durable. The rich organic shades compliment the refined texture and reveals the natural characteristics of the wood. The distinct mark making from their mastered technique glides through the form, resulting in an exquisitely tangible form. The textured surface complements McGil’s selection of lime wood. It is finished with sabi urushi, a mixture of clay, water and urushi. The smooth interior contrasts the pinched surface, embracing the original markings on the wood, protecting its natural beauty. #takahashimcgil #handmade #woodwork #contemporarycraft #madebyhand #limewood #handcarved #handturned #japaneseaesthetic #japanesecraft #maudandmabel #woodenbowl #maudandmabel https://www.instagram.com/p/Chb5XyGDXJN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
