Description :

Two maple burl bowls with irregular bark-edged rims and richly figured grain. Their rounded forms contrast with the rugged natural edges, while swirling patterns, small knots, and golden-brown coloring give each bowl its own character. Both undersides are inscribed “Maple Burl,” with dates of 1997 and a matching stylized maker’s mark.

Highlights

  • Two graduated maple burl bowls.
  • Natural bark edges with distinctive uneven profiles.
  • Figured grain with swirling patterns and contrasting tones.

Burl wood is valued in decorative woodwork for its irregular grain and intricate figuring. These bowls retain the natural contours of the material, making the wood itself the focus of the design.

Pre-owned with light surface wear. Natural knots, voids, fine fissures, and irregular bark edges are visible throughout. Please review the close-up photographs for details of the rims and wood surfaces.
