Bowls and Vases Studio

$300.00

This Large Walnut Bowl features a striking truncated spherical design with a gently closed rim, creating a beautifully balanced form. Crafted to highlight the natural contrast between the sapwood and heartwood, it showcases rich tones and unique grain patterns.

Measuring 220mm in diameter and 130mm in height, this decorative bowl is finished with a tung oil and beeswax blend, enhancing its smooth surface and natural luster. A stunning statement piece for display or functional use in your home.

Working with the natural grain means that our pieces sometimes carry their own 'flaws,' but we see these as part of their charm. In this bowl, a small hole from the pith and some radial cracking have been filled with charcoal colored resin, and a small knot hole have been preserved, showcasing the wood's character and story.
