Walnut carries weight in both tone and grain. Dark chocolate, streaked with lighter flashes, sometimes golden, sometimes gray. Left with its natural edge, the rim rises and falls in a way no lathe could plan. Inside, the surface is polished smooth, the contrast sharp — rustic edge outside, refined walnut glow within.
The smaller bowls don’t ask for attention; they hold fruit, nuts, or bread without ceremony. Step up in size and the bowls begin to lead the table — a salad for six, a pile of roasted vegetables, or simply their own form as centerpiece. Walnut’s color is dramatic enough to sit comfortably anywhere: a farmhouse table, a clean modern setting, even a kitchen counter.
Every piece is turned by hand in Gill, Massachusetts, from walnut that would otherwise be discarded. What’s left rough, we leave; what needs to serve, we finish with food-safe oil. The result is a bowl that keeps the tree’s edge in view while carrying forward a craft rooted in New England’s working forests.
Sizing Guide (Live Edge Black Walnut Bowls)
Every live edge walnut bowl tells the story twice — polished within for use, raw at the rim to remind you where it came from.

Apply mineral oil once a month to maintain the natural beauty of the wood, except to products with our Driftwood, White Pearl, and Sea Glass finishes. These bowls are made with an acrylic food safe finish and should not be oiled.
Our mineral oil has a beeswax base that adds beauty and protection from everyday wear and tear. Beeswax conditioners help prevent wood from drying out as well as from absorbing too much moisture.
Prolonged exposure to water can cause damage; please do not submerge in water or place in the dishwasher.
Common mistakes include letting old fruit and vegetables rot at the bottom of a bowl (this may stain) and putting a bowl/board in the oven.
