Jerry Kermode Jerry's bowl's begin with the search for unique wood. Before he makes his first cut, he studies the log, looking for just the right grain representation and character. Each bowl is first turned while the wood still carries moisture, then allowed to air dry for two to three months. On the bottom of each bowl is Jerry's signature, the type of wood and the date of the final turning. "I have a love affair with trees; their continued growth is important as the joy of turning. I search out recycled trees and logs from sustainable harvesting operations. The bowl begins with the study of telltale signs in each log that may reveal hidden beauty. From this I unwrap one of nature's most enchanting gifts and the tree is allowed to extend its rooted existence, through my hands into yours."
