This medium-sized bowl is crafted from New Zealand pohutukawa and finished with a fire-blackened exterior. The charred surface has been carefully burnished back, revealing subtle highlights of grain beneath and creating a gentle contrast against the warm natural wood interior.

With its slightly enclosed form, this is a practical and versatile functional bowl — ideal for everyday serving or simply sitting on display. The surface is finished with a food-safe oil and wax blend, giving the wood a soft, natural sheen.

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.

1Display Piece Only
Solely suitable as an art or display piece. May be delicate or has features that make it unsuitable for kitchen use.

2Lightly Functional
Can hold large dry items such as fruit or bread, but may have large voids or other inclusions.

3Moderately Functional
Good for fruit or leafy salads. May include some natural voids but remains robust overall.

4Highly Functional
Ideal for daily salads or general serving. Water-tight but may be finely turned or have a natural edge.

5Fully Functional
Suitable for nearly everything, including hot foods. These are the workhorses — strong, durable, and ready for everyday use.
