This round bowl has been handcrafted from reclaimed Rimu given to me by my Father. The Rimu has a very quintessential grain, the colours and the lines through it are satisfyingly Rimu. There are some dark knots visible on the outer edge with makes the grain look beautifully celestial, it gives you an interesting glimpse of the patterns that sit inside a Rimu tree. This bowl has a slight crack in the lip, so I have added in a Walnut Butterfly Joint to keep it secure, and cute.
The bowl has a good depth to it, lovely to hold your small trinkets, perhaps as a bowl to present food in, as a beautiful display piece, or as a gift for a loved one.
Each of the Wide Lip Bowls are a unique work of art, showcasing the natural variations within Rimu wood, ensuring that no two are the same.

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.
