Cherry changes as it ages. Fresh cut, the wood glows golden red; over years it shifts darker, settling into deep coppery browns. In these bowls, that natural tone is kept on the inside. The outside is washed in a deeper shade, so you see a quiet contrast — light within, darker without.
The small bowls end up everywhere — holding fruit on the counter, bread at dinner, or just a handful of nuts. Medium and large sizes move to the table for salads and vegetables. The biggest pieces don’t stay in the background; they sit in the middle, carrying the meal or standing empty as their own kind of centerpiece. The two-tone finish doesn’t shout, but it catches the eye.
Made in Gill, Massachusetts, each piece starts with salvaged cherry logs that might otherwise be wasted. The interiors are sanded smooth, finished with a food-safe oil. The darker wash on the outside keeps the grain visible while giving the wood a second voice. Work like this ties back to a New England tradition — reclaiming, refining, and passing down.
Sizing Guide (Two-Tone Cherry Round)
Two-tone cherry bowls hold both light and shadow — shaped by hand, meant for use, and made 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 bowls, 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 bowl 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.
Cherry left natural inside and washed darker outside creates quiet contrast. Simple, striking, and made for everyday use.
