"G+ Bowl 12184" is a signed and numbered hand-turned bowl made from figured Old-Growth Redwood. It measures 4" at its widest diameter and 5.5" tall at its highest point.
The Old-Growth Redwood David Walsh uses is sustainably-sourced, reclaimed California Redwood stumps that were left by the first loggers of the late 19th Century. Some of these trees were alive over 2,500 years ago, and over-logging has increased the scarcity of this precious wood. David Walsh's pieces are made of all-heartwood Old-Growth Redwood, which is extremely resistant to decay and insects. The wood has remained perfect even after lying outdoors for up to 140 years. Because of this, the color is much darker and the wood harder. In some pieces, the exterior surface has developed a lovely black color from the exposure to the elements. Owning a piece of Old-Growth Redwood means having a part of natural history that will last far into the future.
