Full description
This is a handmade woodturned bottle opener made from beautiful spalted beech wood. The spalting comes from mineral deposits left by fungus which is allowed to grow in the tree after it has been felled. Highly prized in woodturning, the spalting gives the piece a unique and stunning appearance, with the dark spalting contrasting with the golden beech, and other colours including dark reds also coming through in certain lights. The dark colour of the bottle opener hardware matches the dark spalting.
The shape is simple but ergonomic with a flare at the end which matches the natural shape of the hand.
This bottle opener was handmade on a wood lathe. It measures 15.5cm in length and 3.5cm at its widest point.
Handmade in Surrey in April 2021. This bottle opener is sanded to 400 grit then given multiple coats of "Hampshire Sheen" food safe danish oil, which not only protects the wood but enhances the natural grain and colour of the spalted beech. A coating of beeswax/mineral oil also gives the handle a glossy sheen.
Care instructions: do not submerge, do not put in dishwasher. Wipe with damp cloth if required.
Note - due to the grain of the wood and the nature of woodturning, each piece may have minor imperfections. I like to think of this as "character" and it means each item is unique!
Designed by Luke Glover in Surrey
