Live edge Ambrosia Maple Bowl and salad tossers

Ambrosia Maple Tossers

ambrosia salad tossers by spencer peterman

Our ambrosia maple tossers come in three sizes to seamlessly compliment the variety of bowl sizes we offer.

Information about sizing can be found in the drop down box above.  The 9″ and 11″ tossers are thin and slightly bowed, while the 13.5″ rustic tossers are thicker and straighter.  Please use photos for shape description.  A wooden bowl with tossers is a popular gift for holidays, anniversaries, housewarmings and birthdays.  It can be fun to mix and match patterns!  For example, our black ebonized tossers pair beautifully with our artisan spalted maple bowls (and vice versa).

Live Edge Ambrosia Maple Bowls

Our ambrosia maple bowls meld seamlessly into any home, with their neutral color and natural live edge.

Our ambrosia wooden oval bowls retain their natural edge, and flow in an elliptical, providing a more wild and natural feel.  Perfect for the home — living room or kitchen.  The amount of ambrosia detail will vary in every piece.  An ambrosia bowl may also contain a mixture of spalting and ambrosia.  This ambrosia detail may appear in light-brown or medium-brown maple wood.  The last photo of the salad bowl and tossers shows the different ambrosia wood color choices (light-brown, or medium-brown).
