Walnut Stippled Heartwood Bowl | Sourced from Livermore, CA | 10"

This is more than a wooden bowl; it's a piece of the East Bay landscape. Carved from Walnut sourced from a Livermore tree yard, this piece is a study in texture and touch. The smooth, flowing grain of the sapwood gives way to a meticulously hand-stippled heartwood, a testament to the "slow carve" and the meditative process of its creation.

• Artisan Crafted: Guided by the wood's "terroir," this bowl was hand-turned to be exceptionally thin and light. The heartwood was then painstakingly stippled by hand with a rotary burr, creating a unique tactile experience that invites you to touch it. This intentional, detailed work transforms the surface into a landscape of its own.

• Details & Dimensions: * Wood: California Walnut * Diameter: Approximately 10 inches * Finish: Finished with a durable, food-safe Polymerized Linseed Oil that gives a deep, lustrous sheen.

• Form & Function: Perfect as a stunning centerpiece, a decorative art piece on a shelf, or a vessel for dry goods. Its delicate, lightweight form makes it a focal point in any room.

• Evidence of the Hand: As with all truly handcrafted items, you will find subtle marks from the tools. The thousands of individual dots in the heartwood are a clear "evidence of the hand," making this piece undeniably unique.

Care Instructions: To maintain its beauty, simply wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid soaking or placing it in the dishwasher. Re-apply a wood butter or mineral oil as needed to restore its luster.
