Artisan woodworker Allen Davis works in his western North Carolina studio surrounded by great stacks of logs, stumps, branches, roots, castoff cuts, rejected knotty burls, and other natural resources awaiting transformation. Known for his focus on polychromatic segmented woodturning, Allen's latest work employs native hardwoods (cut from his own 10-acre North Carolina hardwood rain forest) layered alternately with imported exotic hardwoods. The gorgeous patterns are created by the natural wood colors, and no dyes or stains are used. Each unique vessel, pieced from precision-cut segments, reveals Allen's evolving style with new color, pattern, and textural variety. An Allen Davis artisan wood bowl is sure to be a treasured heirloom. Both decorative and functional, all serving pieces are food-safe and can be washed by hand with soap and water. Food-grade mineral oil can be used if the wood becomes dry from washing. Wood is a natural product, so variations and minor imperfections should be expected and add to the character and uniqueness of each piece.
