Handcrafted by a bearded chap in a hat, using an axe, knives, and other human powered tools. This shrink pot was crafted from a log of beautifully green hued hazel, and is finished with linseed oil.

Each shrink pot is crafted form a length of greenwood, which is first hollowed out, before having a handcrafted base of dry wood fitted into the base of the hollowed tube. As the greenwood dries, it shrinks and ‘clamps’ onto the seasoned wood base, creating a functional ‘pot’

This pot is approx. 10cm length x 6cm dia.

Please note that I do not use power tools or sanding tools/methods to finish my hand carved products. My process also embraces the natural character and qualities of the material being worked, following the organic and inherent contours of the grain and characteristics of each piece of wood. Therefore, you should expect a form that expresses and embraces the beauty of each individual piece of wood, along with some tool marks which celebrate the authentically hand crafted process of each piece.
