Spalted and ambrosia maple carry markings you can spot at a glance. Spalted wood runs with dark tracings across pale ground, while ambrosia brings smoky gray streaks left by the beetle. Put side by side, the two woods are never the same. Handles are carved into the bowl itself, easy to grip and strong enough for passing around the table.
Smaller bowls end up in daily use — fruit in the kitchen, bread at dinner, or a quick side dish. Larger ones step forward when the table is full: salads for a group, roasted vegetables, or a spread meant for sharing. The patterns shift bowl to bowl, so every piece feels singular, more like a fingerprint than a template.
Each harvest bowl starts in Gill, Massachusetts, turned by hand from salvaged maple logs. Trees that might have been discarded are reclaimed and shaped instead. The interior is sanded smooth, the edge and handles left with the marks of the wood itself. A food-safe oil seals the surface. Built sturdy enough for today, made to last for years.
Sizing Guide (Spalted/Ambrosia Maple Harvest Bowls with Handles)
The streaking grain of spalted and ambrosia maple makes each harvest bowl a one-of-a-kind piece, full of character and crafted to last.
– 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.
Maple touched with spalting and ambrosia streaks becomes lively and expressive. The harvest shape with handles keeps it functional.
