Walnut Beaded Bowl | Sourced from Livermore | 6"

An exercise in classic elegance, this Walnut bowl showcases the beauty of pure form and refined detail. Sourced from the same Livermore stock as its more rustic cousins, this piece celebrates precision. A crisply turned bead encircles the exterior, providing a subtle decorative touch and a delightful tactile reference point, all brought to a flawlessly smooth finish.

• 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 rich grain, a tangible piece of our local landscape refined into an object of quiet sophistication.

• Artisan Crafted: Turned from a single piece of Walnut, the defining feature of this bowl is its delicate, hand-turned bead. This element requires a steady hand and a sharp tool, creating a clean, shadowed line that elevates the simple form. The focus here is on a pure, smooth finish, allowing the wood's natural depth and swirling grain to be the star of the show.

• Details & Dimensions: * Wood: California Walnut * Diameter: Approximately 6 inches * Finish: Finished with a food-safe oil and wax blend and buffed to a fine, smooth sheen that feels wonderful in the hand.

• Form & Function: Its elegant profile makes it a versatile piece for any room. Ideal as a catch-all on a dresser for rings and watches, a serving bowl for candies or condiments, or a thoughtful, handcrafted gift. It is a small object of beauty, designed for daily interaction.

• Evidence of the Hand: The perfectly executed bead is the clearest "evidence of the hand." It is not a random pattern but a precise, intentional detail that could only be achieved through the patient, hands-on process of turning on the lathe.

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.
