Pecan Wood Deep Plate

Pecan Wood Bowl

Dimensions: ~7‑1/2 inches in diameter × 1‑3/4 inches tall

Hand‑turned from premium pecan wood (Carya illinoinensis), this bowl highlights the natural strength and beauty of a hardwood native to the southern United States and Mexico. Pecan belongs to the hickory family, renowned for its toughness and resilience, and is celebrated for its ability to balance durability with striking visual appeal. The wood’s color ranges from soft tan to deep reddish‑brown, often accented by bold grain lines that make each piece truly one‑of‑a‑kind. Over time, pecan develops a warm patina, deepening in tone and character with age.

The bowl’s smooth curves and shallow profile showcase both form and function, making it equally suited for everyday use or display. Its distinctive grain patterns, visible across the surface, reflect pecan’s unique texture and natural charm. Finished with walnut oil, the surface is enriched and protected, enhancing the wood’s warmth while providing a food‑safe sheen.

Crafted by Gentry Crafted, this piece embodies the legacy of pecan wood as one of America’s hardest and most resilient species. Traditionally used for tool handles, flooring, and furniture, pecan’s strength translates here into a refined vessel designed to last for generations. It is a sustainable, handcrafted piece that celebrates fine woodworking and the enduring appeal of natural materials.
