This beautiful Spalted Maple bowl is handcrafted in a lathe-turning technique by one of the leading wood artisans in the US who works in this technique. Spalting is a unique process naturally occurring in some slabs of wood that results in clear dark lines around the wood grain. It adds a distinct look to any object carved from spalted wood. This bowl was also partially bleached to make the wood grain stand out.
Lathe turning technique dates back to 1300 BC with the discovery of ancient Egyptian wooden houseware objects. The distinct beauty of each wood-turned bowl makes it stand out as a functional work of art in your home.
