This wooden bowl is made from Olivewood and hand turned in our shop.Olivewood grows in many areas throughout Southern Europe, the Middle East and Eastern Africa. It is the tree that produces commercially grown olives for the fruit and also to make olive oil. The unique quality of this wood is that it is completely sustainable. The trees are not cut down but actually the limbs are pruned and the stump remains. The tree will regenerate much like a Crepe Myrtle and resume production of olives. Because of this process the logs (limbs) harvested are not very big and you will rarely see live edge slabs over 30″ wide. Olive is also a very twisted tree so the wood often has occlusions and wildly swirling grain patterns.
This bowl is lightweight yet sturdy and has the warmth that only natural wood can deliver. The lid is Antique Pewter filagree of a heart which adds a beautiful contrast to the wood.
Dimensions: 4” across and ~ 3” high
This bowl is perfect for Potpourri, jewelry or anything that needs venting and could easily add texture and warmth to any space in your home. Because our pieces are turned and finished by hand, some roughness in the finish should be expected. Color may vary for image.
This piece is made by hand and one of a kind.
