The pillow bowl design features an undercut lip and short stalky sides and an overall shpe that looks like a small throw pillow.

The black lines are naturally occurring from the  spalting process. The lines are created  by a fungus that meander through the wood. Once turned and finished the spalting is not harmful.

This bowl features a wide upper rim and a rounded base. The bowl just screams to be held and caressed. the upper rim is a perfect place for a thumb to rest or the final resting place for m&m s before being eaten.

This bowl was a special order. The owner wanted a bowl that could be used in conjunction with a mezzaluna to chop cabbage for an old family recipe. a thick bowl to withstand years of chopping and a wide base for stability. The spalted maple makes this an heirloom piece.
