This bowl is hand-turned from pecan wood, one of the toughest native hardwoods in the United States. Pecan’s density and strength make it a challenge to shape, but the reward is a vessel with remarkable durability and character. The wood’s fine grain and warm, reddish-brown tones create a natural elegance, while subtle variations in color and texture give each piece its own unique personality.
The bowl’s smooth, low-profile form is polished to accentuate the natural shimmer of the grain, making it equally suited for serving or display. Its compact height and wide diameter provide versatility—perfect for presenting snacks, holding keepsakes, or simply enjoying as a decorative accent.
Finished with a food-safe blend of walnut oil, beeswax, and carnauba wax, the surface gleams with a soft luster while being protected for everyday use. This finish enhances the tactile warmth of the wood and ensures long-lasting resilience.
Harvested and hand-turned by Gentry Crafted, this piece embodies the artistry of fine woodworking and the beauty of native pecan. More than a functional vessel, it’s a celebration of craftsmanship and natural materials—a durable, eye-catching addition to any home.
