Dave Regester Standard Bowl – 45cm

Dave Regester Standard Bowl – 45cm

This 45cm Dave Regester Ash Bowl is a brilliant way to bring in lots of natural texture when you’re styling your home. Designed as a rustic alternative to traditional ceramic serve ware, its smooth, curved shape is made to nestle in alongside coordinating styles. With its typical beige-to-light-brown hue, ash wood makes these pieces attractive and aesthetically pleasing in the home. All Dave’s pieces are turned on the lathe using locally sourced wood in Devon. They are all finished with sunflower oil and beeswax and are best looked after by hand washing. Hot running water is usually sufficient, but a rub with a scourer and a dab of washing up liquid will get rid of more resistant gunge.  As they are used, they develop a patina reflective of the stains and scratches of that use and if the grain begins to look a little dull this can be enhanced with a light application of sunflower oil.

What makes this so special is that the timber used has been shown to contain properties which make it more resistant to the development of bacteria on its surface.

The natural grains vary from light to dark, showcasing nature’s own natural colour palette
