This small wood bowl was turned from local Vermont hardack wood (also known as ironwood or hop hornbeam). This wood is extremely hard and - with distinctive spalting on one side, contrasting heartwood/sapwood and some subtle figured grain - this bowl is full of interesting character. It was rough turned while still green, and then allowed to season and shrink before being finish turned, leaving a round, stable form.
This small bowl is perfect for spices, sauces, nuts and snacks, as well as displaying and storing small keepsakes. It measures approximately 4 1/4" wide by 1 7/8" high. Kettler Woodworks' bowls are individually turned from forest-salvaged woods and each form is designed while it is on the lathe, with the shapes often suggested by the wood itself.
This wood bowl is finished with a food-safe and durable mixture of natural, heat-treated walnut oil and 100% pure beeswax. Care is as simple as wiping clean and towel drying. Periodically refreshing with a natural oil will keep this bowl beautiful and useful for years to come. Each bowl comes with a care instructions card.
