Dark Zelkova Wood Wavy Edge Bowl

Kim Min WookZelkova, Dyed WaxDimensions: 10W x 9L x 4.5HThe wavy edges of the dark dyed Zelkova bowl is from a technique where the artist drenches the wood to make it pliable, then clamps it to dry. One small slip and the piece will break. This means, the artist Kim Min Wook has to work diligently and carefully to achieve his desired outcome. In Japan, Zelkova is considered a premium wood, much like Hinkoi – it’s revered for its strength and beautiful grain. Many Japanese temples are made from Zelkova. Care: Dust when needed. This piece has intentional color variations and cracks. Please do not place near humidity. Not safe for food.
