Rescued from Hurricane Milton: Spalted Laurel Oak Burl Bowl
This one-of-a-kind bowl was hand-turned from upcycled laurel oak salvaged after Hurricane Milton devastated St. Petersburg, Florida. What nature weathered, skilled craftsmanship transformed into an artisan treasure—breathing new life into wood that might have been lost forever.
Each bowl showcases the distinctive spalting and burl patterns that developed naturally in the wood, creating mesmerizing swirling grain and rich chocolate tones. The bark pockets add organic character, reminding you of the tree's journey. Hand-turned on a lathe and finished smooth, this 6-inch wide by 3-inch tall piece is both functional décor and a story of resilience.
Perfect as a catchall, display piece, or meaningful gift that celebrates environmental renewal and artisan woodworking. Every purchase supports local makers rebuilding after the storm.
Hand wash only; do not soak or place in the dishwasher.
