Know before you buy
Spalted maple is wood that has been naturally colored by fungi, creating distinct, dark, web-like patterns against the lighter grain. Because this process occurs naturally in the wild, every bowl features a one-of-a-kind design that cannot be replicated.
This bowl is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the wood, hand wash it with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately. Periodically applying a food-safe mineral oil or beeswax conditioner will help prevent the wood from drying out and keep the grain looking vibrant.
While the bowl is excellent for salads, fruits, and room-temperature sides, it is not oven or microwave safe. Avoid placing extremely hot items directly in the bowl to prevent the wood from warping or cracking.
Yes, you can use it for salads with dressing. Just be sure to wash and dry the bowl promptly after use rather than letting acidic liquids sit in the wood for extended periods, which can eventually affect the finish.
With a 15-inch diameter and 5-inch depth, this bowl is perfectly sized for serving large salads or side dishes to groups of 5 to 8 people. It is a substantial piece that works well as a centerpiece for family-style dining.
