Metal Bowl Stand

We primarily work with black walnut and cherry hardwoods, with select pieces in maple or rare burl wood. All of our timber is sustainably harvested from managed forests. Black Walnut is prized for its dark, sophisticated chocolate tones, contrasting sapwood, and dramatic grain. Cherry is loved for its warm red or tan hue that matures into a rich, deep reddish-brown over time. Both stand up beautifully to daily use and only grow more beautiful with proper care.

Yes. Our products are the premier choice for weddings, housewarmings, and 5th-anniversary wood celebrations. Their functional elegance and timeless beauty complement any lifestyle or setting, serving as meaningful tokens of appreciation that recipients will cherish as a central part of their daily routine and festive traditions.

Many of our hardwood bowls and boards can be personalized with precision custom engraving. Whether it is a family name, a significant wedding date, or a company logo, we would love to personalize your piece, transforming it into a cherished family legacy or a sophisticated gift.

Our New Arrivals showcase the latest evolution of our Vermont workshop, ranging from innovative hardwood home and kitchen items to sculptural home accents. Each piece is designed to enliven your daily ritual and elevate your most significant milestones.

Absolutely. Every piece we craft is finished with our non-toxic, allergen-free Refined Walnut Wood Oil. This food-safe finish penetrates the hardwood fibers to create a resilient barrier against moisture and bacteria, while enlivening the naturally beautiful grain. Our products are designed for the rigors of the daily kitchen, from serving vibrant salads to presenting artisanal charcuterie.

Apply a light coat of our Refined Walnut Wood Oil to the surface of your bowl. Allow the oil to penetrate the fibers for a few minutes, then buff away the excess with a soft cloth and let dry for at least six hours before use. This simple ritual seals the wood, prevents graying, and keeps the grain vibrant and resistant to food odors and stains.

Yes. Our bowls are hand-turned from a single piece of solid hardwood. This natural integrity, combined with our food-safe Refined Walnut Wood Oil finish, ensures a non-toxic surface for both hot and cold preparations. Regular conditioning with our wood oil keeps your bowl performing beautifully for years to come.

Yes. All of our bowls begin as solid forms cut from logs sourced from the United States. Unlike most commercial wooden bowls, which are made from multiple pieces of wood or bamboo, each Andrew Pearce bowl is turned from one solid block of hardwood, honoring the natural grain and strength of the tree and achieving a rare elegance and durability.

Our small bowls hold an individual serving of salad. Medium bowls serve four to six people, and large bowls are ideal for six to eight. Our extra large and double extra large sizes are perfect for bigger gatherings. When in doubt, size up so your bowl can grow with every occasion.

A live edge bowl is a tribute to the tree's natural architecture. Unlike symmetrical round bowls, the rim of a live edge piece follows the organic, undulating contours of the outside of the tree from which it was made. We hand-turn these bowls to highlight the striking transition between the deep, rich heartwood and the creamy, lighter-colored sapwood found just beneath the bark.

That is the sapwood, the younger outer layer of the tree. In hardwoods like black walnut and cherry, there is a beautiful contrast between the dark heartwood at the center and the lighter sapwood at the edges. We intentionally celebrate this transition in our Live Edge collection as a tribute to the organic origins of each piece.

While the silhouette appears delicate and airy, the rim is remarkably resilient. We work with dense, high-quality cherry and walnut, and every irregular edge is hand-sanded to be smooth and structurally sound.

No. We remove the bark from every piece to ensure structural integrity. Bark is naturally brittle and can peel over time. By preserving the shape of the tree just beneath the bark, we deliver the live edge aesthetic in a durable, easy-to-clean, heirloom-quality piece.

With exceptional artisanal skill. Our Echo bowls begin as solid hardwood, which we cut to a rough shape, dry, and hand-turn on a lathe. This achieves fluid, round interior and exterior sides with a rim profile cut to a square when viewed from above. The exacting process showcases the natural grain as it flows across the corners, achieving a modern elegance rarely encountered in traditional woodturning.
