Spalted Maple Bowl

Dimensions: ~5 inches in diameter × 3 inches tall

Hand‑turned from spalted maple (Acer spp.), this bowl captures the dramatic beauty of wood transformed by nature. Spalting occurs when fungi interact with maple, creating bold black lines, contrasting streaks, and swirling burl details that make each piece truly one‑of‑a‑kind. The light sapwood provides a striking canvas for these markings, resulting in patterns that feel almost painted across the surface.

The bowl’s smooth curves and polished finish highlight both form and function, while the natural variations in tone—from creamy whites to rich browns—add depth and character. Finished with walnut oil, the surface is enriched and protected, ensuring lasting beauty and a food‑safe sheen.

Spalted maple is prized by artisans for its ability to turn natural decay into visual artistry, and this piece embodies that legacy. Equally suited for daily use or display, it is a functional vessel that brings warmth, uniqueness, and craftsmanship into any space. Created by Gentry Crafted, it celebrates fine woodworking and the enduring appeal of natural materials.
