The Wooden Bowl Store near Biltmore Village has some beautifully carved and finished wooden bowls for sale. Loyal reader Jason is making the bowls. More from the web site, www.woodenbowlstore.com:
Our bowls are made from a variety of reclaimed hardwoods from the western North Carolina and southwestern Virginia areas. We focus on using woods that would otherwise end up rotting away or carted off to the landfill.
Our bowls are turned and finished by hand on a woodturning lathe. The bowls vary from piece to piece. They are not massed-produced but come directly from nature. The bowls display the character of each tree that they are cut from. Knots, warping, natural edges, random coloring, and imperfections are all qualities that are cherished by owners for many years.
Whether you are looking for a bowl for functional daily use like your Grandma had, or a decorative display to brighten any room, our bowls will last for many generations with proper care.
The bowls don’t come cheap, but they’re beautiful pieces that will make someone a darn nice gift this wedding season.
