A Raw, Shimmering Celebration of the Forest Floor
Bring the unrefined beauty of nature into your home with this stunning Spalted Ashbowl. Measuring 9.5 inches wide with a sleek, low-profile 2-inch height, this piece is a masterclass in organic contrast. It captures the exact moment where the tree’s rugged exterior meets a shimmering, high-figure interior, making it a functional work of art that feels as though it was just plucked from the woodland.
A Trio of Natural Wonders
This bowl was selected for its rare combination of three distinct wood characteristics:
Inky Spalting: The wood is etched with dramatic, black "zone lines"—nature’s watercolor—created during the wood's natural seasoning process. These lines act as a bold, abstract contrast to the pale ash grain.
Liquid Figure: The interior of the bowl features "curly" or "fiddleback" figuring. This creates a three-dimensional, shimmering effect that moves as you tilt the bowl in the light, giving the wood a deep, chatoyant glow.
Rustic Live Edge: We have preserved the natural, rugged edge of the tree. This unrefined rim provides a tactile, "bark-side" texture that serves as a beautiful frame for the highly polished interior.
