Fire-blackened pohutukawa bowl No718
$520.00
Sold!
This medium sized pohutukawa bowl features a fire-blackened exterior, where the charred surface has been burnished back to reveal subtle highlights of grain beneath. The contrast between the darkened outer surface and the warm natural wood interior gives the piece a classic, understated presence.
With its slightly enclosed form, this is a very practical and versatile functional bowl — well suited for everyday serving or simply sitting on display. Finished with a food-safe oil and wax blend.

Functional Rating?
The Functional Rating runs from 1 to 5 and is my way of giving you an idea of how practical a bowl or platter is for everyday use.
Each piece sits somewhere on this scale depending on factors such as the type of wood, the smoothness and easy clean finish of the interior surface, or whether it features artistic elements like natural voids or inclusions.
1 – Display Piece Only
Solely suitable as an art or display piece. May be delicate or has features that make it unsuitable for kitchen use.
2 – Lightly Functional
Can hold large dry items such as fruit or bread, but may have large voids or other inclusions.
3 – Moderately Functional
Good for fruit or leafy salads. May include some natural voids but remains robust overall.
4 – Highly Functional
Ideal for daily salads or general serving. Water-tight but may be finely turned or have a natural edge.
5 – Fully Functional
Suitable for nearly everything, including hot foods. These are the workhorses — strong, durable, and ready for everyday use.
