Know before you buy
No, this bowl is not food-safe. It is intended to be used as a decorative art piece or a display bowl rather than for direct contact with food.
Because this is a natural wood piece, it should never be placed in the dishwasher or submerged in water. Simply wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth to maintain the polished finish and protect the wood grain.
No. Because each piece is crafted from a unique section of rare maple burl, the grain pattern, color variations, and exact shape of the rim will differ from piece to piece. You are receiving a truly one-of-a-kind item.
The month-long process is necessary to ensure the wood is properly aged and dried before it is turned and sanded. This meticulous approach prevents the wood from warping or cracking over time, ensuring it remains a lasting heirloom.
No, this bowl is not oven or microwave safe. Exposure to high heat or moisture can damage the wood and compromise the hand-finished surface.
