Know before you buy
Yes, Stinson Studios carefully selects and treats the wood to ensure the bark edge is stable for decorative and serving use. However, because it is a natural material, it should be handled with care to avoid accidental chipping.
This bowl is intended for dry or room-temperature foods like fruit, bread, or salad. It is not microwave or oven safe, and prolonged exposure to moisture or high heat can damage the natural wood finish.
To preserve the wood's integrity, handwash the bowl with mild soap and water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid soaking it in water or placing it in the dishwasher, as this will cause the wood to warp or crack.
Because each bowl is individually hand-turned from natural Ambrosia Maple, every piece features unique grain patterns and bark textures. You should expect your bowl to be a one-of-a-kind item with variations that differ from the product photography.
While the bowl is crafted for culinary presentations, it is not rated as food-safe for direct contact with wet or oily foods. We recommend using it for dry items or lining it with a napkin or parchment paper if serving food directly.
