This is the most gorgeous bowl!!!! Even the engraving on the bottom of the bowl is special. Steve was an absolute pleasure to work with as I had a special order. This piece will be cherished for many years to come!

Perfect size for my needs. I have a bratty cat who cannot resist stealing my rings, this keeps them safe and accessible for when I want to wear them. (Earring pot from Etsy too, but I don't want to step on advertising toes.)

This bowl is perfect! The bottom allows it to sit without sliding, the polished wood is perfect for getting out the guitar picks! A perfect gift for my son. Great customer service! I would highly recommend. It is a beautiful bowl.

Super easy to work with. He was able to make two identical bowls for me and they are gorgeous. Highly recommend this seller- if he doesn’t have what you need he will try to make it for you.

We love our new, handmade utensil holder! My husband and I both work/play in various artistries and appreciate quality, creative work. The shop owner reached out and was personal and helpful. I would purchase again from this shop!

I had been looking for a wood yarn bowl, which all look pretty much look the same, and then I saw this! Absolutely beautiful bowl, and I am so happy that I took the splurge and got it. I love it!

Bowls, pots, and other items of high quality and fine craftsmanship.

Hand crafted bowls and vessels of the finest quality.

Wood is amazing stuff. It is strong, durable, and beautiful. The variety of textures, colors, and scents found in wood is remarkable. From a butcher block table to an antique porch rocker, wooden objects are warm, significant, and inviting. A well-made bowl, for example, will have a pleasing shape and will also feel well balanced when held. For many of us, using wooden things fosters a sense of connection to nature in an increasingly synthetic and technological world.

I grew up in central New England, a region where hardwood forests mixed with pine and hemlock. I roamed the woods as a boy, paid for college by clearing house lots and selling firewood, and then went on to study the ecology of forests and forest wildlife for most of the last 25 years. It's been a wonderful career.

Twenty years ago, I began assembling a wood shop so I could fill my home with well made furniture for my family. After a while I added a wood lathe. Over time, woodworking increasingly became a creative outlet for me and I now craft purely artistic pieces as often as utilitarian ones, and I head to the lathe more often than to any other tool.

I have made every piece offered here in artisan fashion. I primarily use locally harvested urban wood that was diseased, storm damaged, or in the path of development. I also occasionally purchase exotic wood from wood dealers. Under no circumstances do I use wood species listed as vulnerable or threatened by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, and I only purchase wood that is certified “sustainably harvested” by the Forest Stewardship Council.

Thank you for looking. I hope you like what you see here.
