About the tree

This was a very old tree in my nephew’s front yard that needed to be removed because it was bug-infested and no longer healthy enough to produce fruit. Most of the tree was decayed as it was hollow but I was able to salvage some of the trunk. 

Apple wood is very dense hardwood with beautiful color contrasts between the heartwood (dark) and sapwood (light). I used branch wood for these (since the trunk was hollowed out) so most of these bowls are on the smaller side, with a few live-edge pieces.

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.
