This golden Kauri truly sparkles when the grain catches the light just right. Carved into the end grain, the bowl reveals a richer, more intricate grain with a deeper shine, showcasing both the natural beauty of the wood and the craftsmanship behind this hand-carved piece. It's an enchanting balance of nature and skill, and form and function.

What sets this bowl apart is that it’s carved from the end grain of the wood. Using end grain creates a unique pattern where the fibers are exposed, giving it both durability and a beautiful, almost mosaic-like texture. It’s a technique often used in high-quality woodworking because it withstands wear and tear while showcasing the natural beauty of the wood.

Handmade in Auckland, New Zealand by Courtney Petley.

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.
