13" Ambrosia Maple Oval Bowl

The maple tree is beloved throughout New England for it’s wood, syrup and vibrant fall foliage. Maple wood is characterized by a smooth grain and unique light color. This lovely bowl is upcycled from fallen maple trees that are in the early stages of decomposition that have been infested by the Ambrosia Beetle which create the unique brownish/greyish markings within the wood. Each bowl is a unique masterpiece of nature. Our Ambrosia maple bowls are sustainably sourced, upcycled, and handcrafted in New England.

Spencer Peterman is always on the lookout for fallen trees rotting in the woods. Hidden in trees especially the ones covered by moss and dirt is wood disfigured by the beginnings of decomposition. Turning that wood on a lathe produces strikingly unique bowls and other products. A food safe finish is used and it is recommended to apply a mineral oil once a month to maintain the natural beauty of the wood. 

Care: Hand wash bowls with mild soap and water. Dry off with a towel. Do not place in the dishwasher or submerge in water.
