Spalted Green Maple Bowl

This wooden bowl was handcrafted from a locally reclaimed maple tree that had to be cut down due to its proximity to a nearby house. Colored with milk paint on the outside and sanded to perfection on the inside, this bowl is finished with food-safe oil; it can be used to hold fruit or displayed as a centerpiece on your table, countertop, or mantel. Being able to use the wood from reclaimed trees allows artist Roberto Ferrer not only to create beautiful art but also to give the material a second life. Voids and cracks are a natural part of the material and do not affect the integrity of the piece
