Nature’s Canvas: Bold Lines and Deep Dimensions
Discover the striking beauty of Spalted Ash, a wood defined by its high-contrast, ink-like veining and pale, creamy tones. This hand-turned bowl is a celebration of "perfect imperfection," capturing a moment in time where nature creates a masterpiece of abstract art within the grain of the wood.
The Allure of Spalded Ash
The captivating black lines—known as spalting—are unique patterns formed during the early stages of the wood's natural aging process. These jagged, "map-like" streaks act as a dramatic counterpoint to the straight, athletic grain of the Ash tree. Because the spalting process is entirely organic, every bowl features a unique fingerprint of lines and shadows that can never be replicated.

Why This Piece Stands Out
Substantial Depth: At 4 inches deep, this bowl offers a significant "well," making it the ideal choice for a large family-sized salad, a mountain of fresh fruit, or serving warm rolls at the dinner table.
Structural Strength: Ash is one of the toughest American hardwoods (traditionally used for baseball bats). This bowl combines a delicate aesthetic with a rugged, durable build that can withstand daily use.
Sustainable Luxury: We rescue wood that would otherwise be overlooked, turning the natural decay of spalting into a sought-after design element.
Food-Safe Assurance: Like all our pieces, this bowl is treated with a non-toxic, solvent-free finish, making it as safe for your food as it is beautiful for your home.
