Embrace the striking, organic elegance of the forest floor with this low-profile hand-turned Spalted Ash bowl. Measuring 10 inches wide with a shallow 2-inch height, this bowl offers a sleek, modern silhouette that beautifully highlights the raw, chaotic artistry of nature.
The pale, creamy tones of the ash wood are contrasted by dramatic, winding "spalting" lines—ink-like tracks left behind by natural forest fungi. Adding a layer of rustic storytelling, the wood features authentic bore holes created by woodland insects during the tree's lifespan. These distinct markings have been meticulously cleaned, sanitized, and stabilized, transforming tiny pieces of history into safe, structural, and visually arresting features.
Key Features
Sleek, Shallow Profile: The 2-inch height creates a contemporary, dish-like aesthetic that is perfect for displaying on coffee tables, consoles, or countertops.
Graphic Spalting Lines: Dark, map-like zone lines that snake across the wood grain, creating an entirely natural, high-contrast canvas.
Authentic Bore Holes: Tiny, stabilized tunnels that give the piece a tactile, wabi-sabi character and serve as a direct link to the tree's life in the wild.
Silky-Smooth Texture: Expertly sanded and finished to feel luxurious to the touch while retaining its organic soul.

Care Instructions
To maintain the integrity of the wood and its natural features, wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Use a soft brush to gently clear any dust from the bore holes. Never submerge the bowl in water, place it in the dishwasher, or expose it to extreme temperatures. Rejuvenate the wood's luster every few months with a light application of food-safe mineral oil or wood wax.
