This isn’t just a bowl — it’s a piece of Australian forest captured in functional art. Australian Red Gum burl is renowned for its incredible grain patterns and rich coloration that seems to glow with inner fire. Rex spent days working with this piece, following its natural flow to create something truly extraordinary.

Burl wood forms when a tree experiences stress, creating these incredible swirling grain patterns that are impossible to replicate. Each burl bowl is completely unique because nature never repeats these patterns exactly. This particular piece showcases the full beauty of what happens when master craftsman meets exceptional material.

The bowl is perfect for display but equally beautiful in use — whether holding fruit, serving salad, or simply gracing your table as a centerpiece. The Australian Red Gum’s natural oils give it a lustrous finish that deepens with age.

Care: Natural oils maintain the wood’s beauty; occasional oiling enhances the grain patterns. We do supply a 2 oz tin of our wood butter with every wood purchase.

Perfect for: Collectors of exotic woods, unique centerpieces, heirloom gifts, or anyone who appreciates the extraordinary patterns that only nature can create.
