In stock
This medium-sized wooden bowl is turned from New Zealand taraire and shaped with a flowing internal curve, giving it a classic, well-balanced form. The clean lines and gentle proportions make it an easy, versatile piece for everyday use.
The taraire has a quiet warmth to it, with plenty of personality showing through in the grain — subtle shifts in tone that reflect the character of the tree it came from. Finished by hand with a food-safe oil and wax blend, the surface has a soft, natural feel.
Ideal as a general-purpose kitchen bowl or a salad bowl, this is a simple, honest piece designed to be used and enjoyed.

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.
