The fig tree, still "green" (full of sap), is very easy to work on a wood lathe. Long shavings fly from the gouge with ease and fly all over the workshop.
The external and internal shape at the time of hollowing is sought to be as close as possible to the perfect sphere.
The preserved wall is approximately 3 mm thick.
As soon as the turning is complete, the wood begins to warp, revealing its own natural curves. Within a few days, the dry piece can be sanded.
The tensions in the wood are stabilized and the piece takes its final shape, more or less different from that at the beginning of the work.
The preserved bark adds a natural and rustic touch to the work.
A linseed oil impregnation completes the object, which has become a bucolic work shaped by matter in motion.
It is always a special moment to return to the studio the day after shooting to admire the new curves that have emerged overnight.
