This beautiful koa wood bowl was handmade by professional bowl turner Llosh Winne on the Big Island of Hawaii. Koa is a rare, highly cherished Hawaiian hardwood endemic to the Hawaiian islands and known as one of the most spectacular and valuable woods in the world. This artisanal bowl is detailed with electric blue real turquoise gemstone inlay. The artist carefully and craftfully utilizes the turquoise stone to fill and repair a a crack in the bowl, a style inspired by Japanese kintsugi. More than just an art form, kintsugi teaches that instead of discarding a broken or imperfect item, we can repair it, adding strength, value, beauty and character to the piece.
Made with fully-organic finishing products, this one-of-a-kind work of art is food safe and makes a perfect salad bowl, table centerpiece, fruit bowl, 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 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.
