Own a beautiful piece of ecological history. Hand-turned from a single block of salvaged ash timber, this stunning bowl tells a dramatic story of the forest. It showcases incredible, high-contrast spalting—ink-black zone lines and rich amber marbling naturally etched into the wood grain as it aged.

Adding to its remarkable character, this bowl features distinct, historic tracking channels left by the Emerald Ash Borer. Rather than hidden away, these winding galleries have been meticulously stabilized and finished, offering a tangible, tactile connection to the tree's life cycle.

With its spacious 10-inch diameter and shallow 3-inch depth, this bowl provides a wide, open presentation. It makes for an incredible conversation-starting centerpiece, a rustic fruit display, or a beautiful serving dish.

Features & Craftsmanship

  • Historic Borer Details: Features natural, winding galleries from the ash borer that have been deeply cleaned, stabilized, and integrated into the design as a badge of authenticity.

  • 100% Food-Safe: Despite the natural character marks, the bowl is completely sealed and finished with a premium, non-toxic, food-grade oil and wax blend. It is fully safe for direct contact with fruits, breads, and dry snacks.

  • One-of-a-Kind Narrative: A striking combination of dramatic fungal spalting and insect geometry means absolutely no other bowl on earth looks like this.

Care Instructions

Because of the intricate, natural texture of the borer tracks, this bowl requires mindful care to keep it beautiful for generations:

  • Wash: Hand wash only with warm water and a mild dish soap. Use a soft cloth to gently clean out the textured areas. Dry immediately with a towel.

  • Avoid: Never submerge or soak in water, place in the dishwasher, or use in the microwave. Note: We recommend avoiding heavy liquids or wet salad dressings directly in the borer channels to make cleanup effortless.

  • Refresh: To keep the wood rich and protected, occasionally wipe down with a thin coat of food-safe mineral oil, let it sit for 15 minutes, and buff off the excess.
