About the tree

Since I was a kid, I observed a linden tree in a neighbor’s yard that was gigantic – a 7’ wide stump. When I noticed one day that it had disappeared, I stopped to talk to the owner; loggers had taken it down (it’s too soft for bowls anyways) but left a pile of Norway Maple and Locust. Locust trees grow in little groves of 5-6 because they drop their seeds and propagate right around themselves. This wood is extremely dense and durable, and was historically used for fence posts or to make pegs for timber frames since it doesn’t rot. The pieces I found were pretty small logs, but have a uniquely pale to greenish-yellow color. 

Care instructions

All bowls are made from locally sourced Maine wood, often spalted and salvaged. The forms and finishes therefore may have blemishes, cracks, and imperfections. Finishes are food-safe linseed oil and beeswax, and can be maintained with an occasional application of an oil of your choice.
