Ebonized Oak Salad Bowl with Natural Knot Detai

A bold, dramatic centerpiece crafted for large-scale entertaining and modern dining. Hand-turned from a single, massive block of solid oak, this generous 13-inch salad bowl features a deep, dark ebonized finish. Rather than relying on dark paint or synthetic stains, the black hue is achieved through a traditional iron-tannin chemical reaction that turns the wood’s natural tannins dark—locking the deep tone permanently into the wood while preserving its distinctive, tactile oak grain texture.

Anchoring the piece is a stabilized, smoothed natural knot detail, adding an authentic touch of raw organic story to the bold silhouette. With an expansive 13-inch width and a deep 4-inch wall, this high-capacity bowl easily handles family-sized salads, vibrant fruit displays, or a striking standalone table arrangement.

Care Instructions

To keep the deep finish and natural oak wood rich and protected for a lifetime:

• Wash: Hand wash gently with warm water and mild dish soap. Dry immediately with a soft towel.

• Avoid: Never soak or submerge in water, place in the dishwasher, or use in the microwave.

• Refresh: To maintain the deep dark luster, occasionally wipe down with a thin coat of food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner, let sit for 15 minutes, and buff off the excess with a clean cloth.
