Frequently Asked Questions

How are the bowls made?

Over 22 individual steps are required to bring you these one-of-a-kind bowls.  Check out our Bowl Story to learn more about the unique process used to make these beautiful bowls.

What is used to treat the bowls?

We prefer to treat our wood with oil from safe, all-natural ingredients rather than stain and alter the grain and color of the natural wood.  This allows for the maximum enjoyment of the wood's individual character, as well as allowing it to develop a warm, rich patina over years of exposure to light and air.

How should I care for my bowls?

  • Hand wash your wooden bowls in warm water using a mild soap and let dry thoroughly.  Do not put in a dishwasher, oven or microwave - the heat and water could cause cracking.
  • The oil finished bowls may be preserved from the effects of use by occasionally rubbing the surface with any liquid vegetable oil.
  • Store in a cool, dry area.
  • As a natural product, this "living" wood will swell when overexposed to liquids.  Do not soak.
