A hand-turned old growth teak bowl with very thin sides that measures 8 1/4″ diameter X 4″ tall. It is signed “Espenet” “Teak” and dated “’56”. The bowl has (3) brass plugs on the bottom to fill the holes left by the screws that attached the blank to the lathe. The sides of the bowl are extremely thin. Very hard to find another bowl by Espenet inscribed with the date. In good original condition with untouched original surface. Arthur Espenet Carpenter (1920 -2006) was an important early proponent of Studio Woodwork in Bolinas, CA. In 1950 his work was chosen for the MoMA’s Good Design Exhibits.
