Golden 7" x 3" Maple Burl and Epoxy Serving Bowl

This masterfully crafted serving bowl bridges the raw, untamed beauty of natural maple burl with the sleek, modern elegance of translucent epoxy resin. Hand-turned in my workshop, every detail of this piece has been carefully considered to highlight the dramatic contrast between organic texture and glass-like clarity.

Maple burl is celebrated for its incredibly dense, swirling grain patterns and rugged, live-edge clusters. In this bowl, the complex topography of the wood meets vibrant, premium-grade epoxy that flows into the natural voids and crevices. The result is a stunning, structural hybrid where wood and resin lock together permanently, creating a mesmerizing visual depth that changes with the light.

Measuring generously for functional use or high-impact display, this bowl is a true conversational centerpiece for a dining table, kitchen island, or entryway console. To ensure it is as practical as it is beautiful, the entire piece is meticulously sanded through ultra-fine grits to a flawless, touchable sheen and sealed with a durable, food-safe finish. This protects the wood's natural warmth while giving the resin a polished, deep-water clarity.

Because of the unpredictable nature of burl growth and the custom pour of the resin, this piece is entirely unique—a functional sculpture that can never be precisely replicated. Perfect for anyone who appreciates high-end woodworking, modern design, or artisan-made home decor, this hybrid bowl brings a striking piece of the natural world into your living space. Handcrafted to endure, it is an heirloom-quality investment built to be admired for generations.
