This bowl feels like geometric perfection—its clean cuboid form combined with the perfectly inscribed hemispherical bowl creates a beautiful balance. The proportions and depth of the bowl play with light in a way that truly highlights its sculptural form. The grain of the rimu works harmoniously with these shapes, while a dark streak running down one side elegantly extends into the top half of the bowl.
Crafted using long grain, the end grain is revealed on opposing sides, showcasing a complex marbled pattern with rich hues ranging from light to dark browns and golds. It's a piece that captivates both in form and texture.

Care
To care for your bowl hand wash in warm soapy water, do not put your bowl in the dishwasher or leave soaking in water. Keep out of direct sunlight.
All wide lip bowls have been finished with food safe New Zealand made beeswax. If you would like to refinish your bowl you can use our Spoon Oil, or a Coconut Oil. Using a cloth massage in about 1/2 tsp oil, let the bowl sit, then buff off with a dry cloth.
About
Goods are made using both responsibly sourced, and reclaimed native New Zealand timbers, and donated off-cuts.
Each item is individually hand made in Auckland, New Zealand by Courtney Petley, and is completely unique in form and grain. Each piece is one of a kind.
Any and all impurities, cracks, knots, or nail holes in the timber are a sign of the natural material it is, and it's previous use. I consider these markings a thing of beauty, and I have preserved and included these purposely to celebrate and honour the history, age, and natural beauty of the timber. Some larger cracks have been secured with food safe adhesive, and/or a butterfly joint.
