Cherry has a warmth you can see change over time. Fresh from the lathe, it’s golden-red; with age, it darkens into copper and deep brown. The live edge keeps the rim soft and irregular, following the tree’s own line. No two are alike. Some edges dip low, others lift high — all of them carrying the shape of the wood as it grew.
The small bowls are simple, good for fruit or a handful of nuts. Medium and large pieces find their way to the table with salads, bread, or vegetables. The largest sizes carry more than food — they carry presence. That shifting, uneven rim brings movement, turning even a weekday meal into something that feels closer to the tree it came from.
These bowls start in Gill, Massachusetts, where we work with salvaged cherry logs — trees taken down by storm or cleared for space. The inside is sanded smooth and finished with a food-safe oil. Around the rim, the edge is left as it grew. Nothing added, nothing covered up — just the tree’s shape, kept intact, strong enough to use every day.
Sizing Guide (Live Edge Cherry Bowls)
Cherry live edge bowls change as the years pass — darker in tone, fuller in character, always carrying both the tree’s edge and the maker’s hand.
– Sustainably Sourced and Upcycled
– Finish, color, spalting and size may vary
– 100% food safe
– Handcrafted in Massachusetts
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.
