Wood Bowls

TIMELESS AND FUNCTIONAL

Our handcrafted wood bowls are expertly turned by artisans who understand that each piece must be functional for daily use and sophisticated in design. Turning wood by hand enables us to draw out the natural grain and then finish each bowl to smooth perfection. Our wooden salad bowls are beautiful as a centerpiece to showcase the design and color of the wood and will also stand the test of time for your favorite edible creations. No two bowls are ever exactly alike and that makes each piece its very own unique and functional work of art.
