NEW live-edge collection COMING SOON
Our latest collection, featuring all live-edge bowls, will be launching early next week. These bowls were made with the intention to showcase each tree's story.
These past couple weeks have gifted us such gorgeous weather, all the farm creatures have been soaking it up!
While on a walk in the woods, we had the opportunity to admire the species of trees that these live-edge bowls come from. Leaving the live edge on the bowl is a technique and simply a choice when mounting it to the lathe.
By leaving the natural edge, we get a clear picture of the tree's age, and perhaps a story...
This spalting you see here, shows fungi and microorganisms that had begun slowly taking over the wood, before it was shaped and preserved.
Spalting is a natural, inevitable process of decomposition, first forming on stressed or dead wood. It's nature's way of turning trees into soil.
Admiring living trees, especially ones that have been here for a while, is one of life's greatest gifts. We learn so much from the forest, like resilience.
Along our walk, we saw giant trees that had fallen in a storm. Though they no longer stood mighty and tall, their absence in the canopy had made way for sunlight to enter the understory. Younger trees, who had been patiently awaiting their time, will now rise to the occasion.
A walk through the woods is good for the psyche, calms the physical body, and connects us to the rhythm of natural creation. It's also just a peaceful way to spend time on this beautiful planet.
If you're looking for a trusty sidekick, our NEW morning moon tote bags are live and ready for adventure.
See you in the woods :::
