Spalted Maple Bowl with Resin Inlay - One of a Kind Wood Bowl
Transform your dining experience with this extraordinary handcrafted serving bowl, a true masterpiece born from nature's artistry and human craftsmanship. This exclusive piece showcases the rare beauty of spalted maple crotch wood—the premium section where two major branches converge on a tree, creating the most dramatic and sought-after grain patterns in woodworking.
Reclaimed from a maple tree naturally felled during Hurricane Isaias in Midland Park, New Jersey in August 2020, this bowl represents our commitment to sustainable artistry through storm-salvaged materials. The spalting process has created stunning natural lines and patterns throughout the wood, while the crotch wood formation delivers the exceptional grain character that makes this piece truly irreplaceable.
What sets this bowl apart is the breathtaking integration of Pacific blue resin, applied to fill natural voids and perfect the bowl's elegant silhouette. The most striking feature is an area we call "1000 Lakes"—a mesmerizing section where numerous void spaces have been filled with the blue resin, creating an almost ethereal landscape within the wood grain.
Measuring 14.5" in diameter by 4" deep, this substantial bowl serves beautifully for salads, bread, fruit, or any culinary presentation. Beyond its functionality, it stands as a captivating decorative centerpiece that commands attention in any room. The contrast between the warm, honey-toned spalted maple and the cool Pacific blue resin creates visual depth that shifts and changes with the light.
Finished with Odie's Oil, a plant-based, food-safe finish that enhances the wood's natural beauty while providing lasting protection, this bowl is ready for both everyday use and special occasions.
