Peterman Ambrosia Maple Harvest Bowl with Handles 18"

Spencer Peterman has a keen eye for fallen trees decaying in the woods — the more weathered and moss-covered, the better. What might look like rot to most is a hidden treasure to him, and to his customers. Beneath the surface lies wood transformed by early decomposition, revealing dramatic patterns and textures. When turned on a lathe, it becomes a one-of-a-kind bowl — a natural work of art, perfect for your home. The maple tree is cherished across New England for its wood, syrup, and brilliant autumn foliage. Known for its smooth grain and distinctive light color, maple wood offers both beauty and strength.
