Superb Burr Elm hollow form with real Ebony finial.
Amazing pattern and colour, beautifully crafted finial design which blends and accentuates the whole.
Another outstanding piece.
Finished in 3 coats of Danish Oil.
Made from a large block, taking years to dry out and create, this piece stands over 10 inches high (25cm) by 51/2 inches wide (14cm).
Remember - these hollow forms are from one piece of timber "hollowed out", they are not joined or fixed together in any way.
Hollow forms are technically more difficult to produce compared to other types of turning. They present many challenges, and in Patrick Lindsays` case these are overcome by his own specially made tools. These types of hollow forms are extremely collectable and highly prized. Many pieces are sold before the work is even commenced.
This piece is absolutely unique - as you will appreciate, there is only one!
All of our bowls & hollow forms are of Gallery standard and represent an opportunity to own a PHL original at a truly outstanding price.

THIS PIECE COMES WITH ITS OWN INDIVIDUAL CERTIFICATE, SIGNED BY PATRICK LINDSAY
"The special dignity of great trees, the varied patterns of sapwood, heartwood, burl, bark, different for each species, the visual and tactile elegance of beautiful finishes, and the subtle grace of many bowl shapes captured my eye and my heart." Edward Jacobson.
Patrick H Lindsay is entered upon the Register of Professional Turners. His award winning work is the result of many years of meticulous labour. He specialises in large bowls and hollow forms. Larger bowls often involve obtaining the whole tree, and the roughed out piece may weigh 5 cwt. These may take 3 years to dry out, and involve many returns to the lathe before being finally finished. Getting the ultra smooth finish which is a Patrick Lindsay trademark, involves working through 5 grades of sandpaper, working over a period of time to get the required finish (all by hand). The equipment to produce such large bowls required an investment of over £10,000, including 2 British made VB36 lathes. With many slow growing tree varieties used, much of his work may have been 100 years or more in the making. All of his pieces are initialled and every one is totally unique.
Patrick Lindsay creations make wonderful, original and lasting gifts. They continue to give pleasure for years, the wood gradually changing hue and shade to create new interest and beauty. Beautiful wood appeals to a basic human instinct and is appreciated by almost everyone.
