This unique, natural edge macadamia nut wood bowl was handmade by professional bowl turner Llosh Winne on the Big Island of Hawaii. This artisanal wood bowl has a natural edge and is detailed with real, electric blue turquoise gemstone inlay. This piece is very special because it is repaired in traditional Japanese kintsugi style, in which imperfections (cracks and holes) in the wood are rendered beautiful by being decoratively repaired 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 enhances, rather than diminishes, the value. The electric blue of the real turquoise gemstone offers a colorful contrast to the natural reddish-brown of the macadamia nut wood. The macadamia nut wood used for this bowl comes from a sustainably-sourced tree locally-grown on the island of Hawaii. Polished with organic linseed oil and beeswax, this bowl is food safe. Perfect for a home décor art piece, certain to beautify and add color and character to any setting. 9 inches wide x 6 inches tall
