Artisan Spalted Ash Salad Bowl – 12" x 4" – Raw Natural Decay Detail

Celebrate the raw, unrefined beauty of the forest with this statement-sized salad bowl. Hand-turned from a single, substantial piece of salvaged ash, this bowl showcases the dramatic narrative of natural decay. It features a spectacular array of deep-tinted spalting—dark, ink-like zone lines—as well as authentic, rustic edge details and organic voids where the wood has naturally aged.

At a grand 12 inches in diameter and 4 inches deep, this is an heirloom-quality centerpiece designed to command attention. Whether filled with a vibrant garden salad or left empty to display its complex, cratered textures and rich, warm wood tones, this bowl serves as a profound connection between the natural world and your home dining experience.

Care Instructions

To preserve the beauty and structural integrity of this organic piece, please follow these guidelines:

• Cleaning: Hand wash gently with warm water and mild dish soap. Use a soft cloth or brush to carefully clean any textured areas. Dry immediately with a soft towel.

• Avoid: Never submerge the bowl in water, put it in the dishwasher, or place it in the microwave.

• Refresh: To maintain the deep, rich colors and protect the wood, apply a thin coat of food-safe mineral oil or beeswax conditioner whenever the finish appears dull. Allow it to soak in for 15 minutes, then buff away the excess with a clean, dry cloth.
