Spalted maple wears its history on the surface. Pale wood streaked with dark tracings, every line different, every bowl its own. The live edge rim follows the tree’s original path, rising and dipping in ways no template could plan. Inside, the surface is smooth and ready for use; outside, the edge shows the forest’s hand.
Small bowls fit fruit, nuts, or quick side dishes. Larger pieces open up for bread, roasted vegetables, or family-style salads. Their markings are unpredictable, sometimes bold, sometimes delicate. Because of that, they stand on their own as sculptural pieces as easily as they serve at the table.
In Gill, Massachusetts, we turn each bowl by hand from locally salvaged maple. Storm-fallen or discarded logs are reclaimed, milled, and shaped into forms meant to last. The interiors are sealed with a food-safe oil; the edges are left natural. What would have gone to waste becomes a bowl built for daily use, carrying both craft and character.
Sizing Guide (Live Edge Spalted Maple Bowls)
Spalted maple live edge bowls blur the line between function and sculpture — practical in use, unforgettable in presence.
– Sustainably Sourced and Upcycled
– Finish, color, spalting and size may vary
– 100% food safe

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.Â
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.Â
Common mistakes include letting old fruit and vegetables mold at the bottom of a bowl (this may stain) and putting a bowl/board in the oven.
