Rescued Grain Spalted Oak Bowl #1

Spalted Oak Bowl

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

This bowl is one of a pair turned from the same found piece of spalted oak, carrying forward the dramatic character and natural artistry of the wood. Its surface reveals a striking interplay of light and dark tones, with flowing grain patterns and bold black zone lines created by the spalting process. These organic markings transform the oak into something extraordinary, giving each bowl in the pair its own unique identity while clearly linking them together through shared origin.

The craftsmanship highlights smooth curves and a polished finish that bring out the oak’s natural warmth. Lighter tan areas contrast with deeper browns and black streaks, producing a marbled effect that feels both rustic and refined. Finished with a food‑safe blend of walnut oil, beeswax, and carnauba wax, the bowl gleams softly while being protected for practical use. Together with its companion piece, it tells the story of rescued wood transformed into lasting art—a testament to oak’s strength, the beauty of spalting, and Gentry Crafted’s skill in honoring nature’s unpredictability.
