13" Square Two Toned Oak Bowls by Spencer Peterman

$194.00

Our ebonized bowls are made using a natural wood-darkening process that allows a the natural grain to show through. The ebonizing process reacts with the tannins in the wood to create rich dark brown and black colors. These bowls are made from oak wood. Oak is a sought after hardwood known for being strong, heavy and straight-grained. Our bowls are sustainably sourced, upcycled, and handcrafted in New England and are 100% food safe.

13” Medium Serving Bowl: 13”w X 4”h. (BEST SELLER) Great for: 2-4 salad, pasta, or popcorn servings.

Care-Hand wash in mild soap and water, dry off with a towel. Do not place in the dishwasher or submerge in water. It is recommended to apply mineral oil when needed to maintain the natural beauty of the wood.

Handmade in Gill, MA

Spencer Peterman is always on the lookout for fallen trees rotting in the woods. He gets excited about this kind of stuff. So do his customers. Hidden in those fallen trees — especially the ones covered by moss and dirt — is wood disfigured by the beginnings of decomposition. Turning that wood on a lathe produces strikingly unique bowls, perfect for your home or showroom. Almost all the wood he gets is from locally fallen trees in Western Massachusetts, such as maple, cherry or black walnut. The maple bowls are figured by the decomposition and aging of the wood, which we call "ambrosia" or "spalted."
