Hand-Turned Classic Native Irish Apple Wood Bowl
Discover the exceptional character of native orchard timber with this beautifully hand-turned Irish Apple wood bowl. Handcrafted in my County Meath workshop, this piece showcases the striking, dramatic contrast between the deep chocolate-brown heartwood ripples and the pale, warm cream sapwood that makes seasoned Apple wood so uniquely beautiful.
Apple wood is a dense, slow-growing timber that requires immense patience and precision to season and turn successfully. This bowl features elegant, sweeping walls and a wide, satisfying rim that perfectly frames the swirling grain rings centered at the base.
Imprinted with natural character pips and rich tonal shifts, this rare mid-sized bowl makes a magnificent decorative centerpiece for a table, a unique key bowl for an entryway, or a prized addition to any fine woodwork collection.
Caring for your piece
Every piece is finished with natural, food-safe oil. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth and dry it straight away. Never put it in the dishwasher or leave it soaking. Every few months, rub in a little food-safe mineral oil or board butter to keep the grain fed and the colour deep. Looked after this way it will last for generations.
