12-inch Natural Maple Salad Bowl and Server Set

Individually crafted in Vermont, these natural hardwood bowls inherit the natural markings of the parent tree's grain pattern, each a unique display of beauty. Every bowl starts from a solid block of maple wood and cut by a series of saws and lathes to create the correct size and shape. Each undergoes a drying process for several weeks to prevent cracking and warping. Upon completion, the bowls are sanded, inspected for quality, and finished with a mineral oil rub. There is no waste in the creation - all remaining wood elements are recycled into firewood and animal bedding. This maple bowl includes a set of matching 11-inch salad utensils, also created in Vermont from hardwood maple. Perfectly functional and ready to serve!
