A large wooden fruit bowl handmade with specialist woodturning tools from monkey puzzle wood to create a shallow bowl with curvy modern sides and a thin even edge. This decorative wooden bowl is light in the hand and beautifully silky smooth to the touch. The monkey puzzle wood has a fairly tight grain across the piece and a large knot near the edge. Finished with 100% pure tung oil to darken the deep rich brown colour, whilst highlighting the beauty of the grain and improving durability against scratches and stains. This large bowl measures 31cm wide, 4.5cm tall, and 3.5cm deep.

Named after its characteristic spiny branches making people remark about how it would be a puzzle for monkeys to climb. Monkey puzzle is a light brown wood, often with a yellow or red hue, particularly around knots. With a straight grain and uniform texture, monkey puzzle is a sought after wood - however it is difficult to come by.
