This small bowl, crafted from black walnut, features a stunning live edge that preserves the organic contour of the tree from which it was made. The bowl’s interior is smoothly turned and polished, revealing the deep, chocolatey brown heartwood laced with flowing grain patterns and occasional golden highlights. In contrast, the rim retains the natural bark or raw edge, giving the piece an earthy, untamed beauty that blends craftsmanship with the wild charm of the forest.
The shape is shallow and round with gently sloping sides, making it ideal for holding small treasures, snacks, or simply serving as a decorative centerpiece. The live edge adds unique character—no two bowls are alike—making this black walnut piece as much a sculpture as it is a functional object. Its rich color and tactile appeal make it a warm, grounding accent in any setting.
