Textured Walnut Bowl | Wire-Brushed Exterior | 6"

Crafted from Walnut sourced in Livermore, this bowl is an invitation to engage the senses. The exterior has been meticulously wire-brushed, raising the grain to create an incredible tactile experience that you can't help but touch. This rustic, textured surface provides a beautiful contrast to the smooth, serene interior, making it a piece that is as pleasing to hold as it is to behold.

• A Story in Wood: The story of this bowl begins with Walnut salvaged from a local Livermore tree lot. It carries the "terroir" of the East Bay within its grain, a tangible piece of our local landscape transformed into an object of everyday beauty.

• Artisan Crafted: After being turned to its final shape, the bowl's exterior was carefully wire-brushed by hand. This process removes the softer springwood, leaving the harder, darker latewood raised in a beautiful, touchable pattern. It's a deliberate technique that honors the wood's natural structure and the "evidence of the hand."

• Details & Dimensions: * Wood: California Walnut * Diameter: Approximately 6 inches * Finish: Finished with a food-safe oil and wax blend, making the smooth interior perfect for use with dry foods.

• Form & Function: The ideal size for your nightstand or desk, this bowl is perfect as a catch-all for keys, coins, or jewelry. It can also serve as a beautiful vessel for nuts and snacks, or simply stand on its own as a piece of small-scale sculpture.

• Evidence of the Hand: The deep texture of the wire-brushed exterior is the most prominent "evidence of the hand." This intentional shaping of the wood's surface ensures that no two bowls are exactly alike and celebrates the unique character of this specific piece of Walnut.

Care Instructions: To maintain its beauty, simply wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid soaking or placing it in the dishwasher. If used for food, clean with a damp cloth and dry immediately. Re-apply a wood butter as needed.
