Know before you buy
No. Because each bowl is handcrafted from unique ambrosia maple, the specific beetle markings and wood grain patterns will vary from piece to piece, making every bowl a one-of-a-kind item.
Yes, this bowl is designed for serving. However, as it is a natural wood product, it is best suited for dry goods like fruit, bread, or salad rather than liquids or heavy sauces.
Hand wash the bowl with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth. To keep the wood from drying out over time, you can occasionally apply a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner.
Ambrosia maple is named for the unique, colorful streaks and patterns left behind by the ambrosia beetle. These markings are not defects but are considered a natural design element that gives the wood its distinct character.
Absolutely. Its 13-inch diameter and natural aesthetic make it an excellent choice for a coffee table or dining room centerpiece, whether it is holding items or displayed on its own.
