The aim for this Kauri bowl was to resemble a large round ball with the bowl appearing as if the top of the ball is folded inward. I love its smooth curves and inviting roundness, making it very tactile. The interior of the bowl is just as smooth, complemented by a sharp lip.
This versatile bowl can be used for serving food, displaying decorative items, or as a catch-all bowl for your keys or rings.

About
Goods are made using both responsibly sourced, and reclaimed native New Zealand timbers, and off-cuts.
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.
Each item is individually hand made, and is completely unique in form and grain. The piece you buy is one of a kind.
Care
Goods can be washed with a cloth in warm soapy water. Please do not put your items in the dishwasher.
For occasional buffering if the surface becomes dull, buff with a dry and soft microfibre, or lint free cloth. You can also use a food safe, furniture specific wood wax or polish to maintain shine.
Please keep all goods out of direct sunlight as this may cause the timber to crack further, or create new cracks.
Finish
Goods have been finished with a food safe Osmo Top Oil with a non yellowing, clear matt finish. The information below comes from www.osmo.co.nz:
Top Oil is a transparent Hardwax Oil finish for wooden bench tops and joinery, as well as wooden coffee and dining room tables etc. Top Oil does not form a film like a polyurethane, so it cannot crack, flake, peel or blister. Dirt can easily be removed without trace.
