Iron Wok
Spring 2010- Materials: Cast iron
- Dimensions: Approx. 12 W X 4 H inches
- Description:
My first cast iron project, the wok was developed through an exploration of off-center lathe turning, Adjacent grooves on the interior and exterior normalize the wall thickness, provide hand holds on the outside, and create terraces on the inside so that food items can be kept out of direct heat if desired.
