Doug Magrath wood bowls - Au Naturel!



Doug Magrath's works are primarily bowls and platters in local hardwoods, but he also produces elegant decorative burl bowls, hollow forms, vases, and other smaller items.


This exhibition is featuring some exquisite bowls and hollow forms from domestic and exotic woods such as:
Black Locust Burl
Ambrosia Maple
Red Mallee
Sugar Maple Burl
Horse Chestnut Burl
Ash Burl
Cherry Burl
Honduras Spalted Rosewood Burl


The bowls are all turned from green logs; first rough-turned to a basic form, then dried in controlled conditions in a wood drying dehumidifier, and finally finish-turned when the wood is stable.
