These bowls are very special and unique. 

The expertise in creating these bowls provide some amazing alternatives to your standard wooden bowls and accessories – each piece crafted has its own story. All bowls are created from local woods from in central New England: the Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont forests are a rich resource. Normally, company's want to get rid of, chip up, or make firewood of logs with any decay – and that’s where the artisan come in. They actually embrace decomposing wood because that decomposition gives each wood bowls a distinctive character.  They are created by upcycling – taking logs that normally are discarded, and making something beautiful out of them. When the artisan gets hold of a Spalted Maple or an Ambrosia Maple log with just the right character, they can make wonderful things happen on the lathe. Not one bowl will be the same as the next.  It all really just depends on the grain of the wood and decomposition.
