Turned from weathered maple, this bowl has soft gray tones and grain that shifts with a distinct border separating the normal maple colors from the darker tones. The rim slopes outward and down, giving the form a gentle sense of motion. There’s no catch, no dramatic twist. Just balance, weight, and quiet presence.
This piece is part of the Perfectly Imperfect collection—work that embraces asymmetry, subtle flaws, and the beauty of natural form. It sits square. Feels grounded. Meant to be touched, not just looked at.
The maple for this piece was sourced from a veteran-run organization in North Carolina. Every step—from selecting the tree to cutting, planing, and preparing the blank—was done by veterans supporting other veterans. It’s wood with a story, and I’m proud to carry it forward in this form.
