Handmade Large Norfolk Pine Wood Bowl with Turquoise Inlay Detail, Food Safe Salad Bowl, Organic Wood Salad Bowl, Large Wood Salad Bowl

This Extra Large Norfolk Pine Wood Bowl was handmade by professional artist Llosh Winne on the Big Island of Hawaii. Made directly from the wood of Norfolk Pine tree, the artist hand-carved, turned and sanded the bowl with the utmost care and attention to detail, then added real turquoise gemstone inlay. Norfolk pine trees grow in a ringed fashion, giving the wood a unique knot pattern.

In traditional Japanese kintsugi style, cracks and openings in the wood are colorfully decorated with fine turquoise gemstone inlay. As a philosophy, Japanese kintsugi treats breakage and repair as an honorable and beautiful part of the history of an object that strengthens and enhances, rather than diminishes. More than just an art form, kintsugi teaches us that the “flaws” in wood art are what make each piece unique and valuable, just as challenges add character and strengthen us as humans.

This bowl is highly valued because of the floral design the artist uncovers in the wood, in the center of the bowl.

With artistic Turquoise ornamental detailing and made with the highest quality, fully organic finishing products that meet FDA food safe requirements, this one-of-a-kind work of art makes a perfect salad bowl, table centerpiece, wedding gift, statement piece, or home décor item certain to beautify any setting. Wood is naturally anti-bacterial and anti-microbial, making this a perfect choice for salad and other food items. Similar to cast-iron pans, wood bowls preserve flavor. In European counties such as France and Italy, wooden bowls are seasoned with garlic and olive oil before serving with salad, a little European food secret. These reasons make wood bowls a perfect, healthy, delicious option for serving salads. The extra large size of this piece is perfect for big families or a large table or kitchen island centerpiece.
