Higuerilla Wood Bowl

Sale price$250.00

We love big bowls, and we cannot lie! These big and beautiful bowls are something to last a lifetime. Coveted by chefs, celebrities, influencers, and more, anything you put in this bowl has the wow factor.  

Our single-piece hand-carved bowls are made by local artists deep in the Peruvian rainforest.  To protect their managed forests, wood harvested from their community can only be produced within their region, limiting commercial abuse of their natural resources and creating industry for the native people in this remote region.  

About the wood:

Higuerilla (Micandra spruceana) is a richly colored hardwood ranging from light coffee to mid-orange brown with dark brown stripes. Higuerilla weighs 45 pounds per cubic foot and has moderate stiffness like Koa. 

Variegations in color and markings are the unique history of the tree used. Light or dark, uneven patterns, dark spots, or streaks are not unusual. You will likely see chisel marks from the artisans’ hand tools and find your bowl is slightly irregular in shape or around the rim. These are reminders of the craftsmanship in your finished product.

Maintain with food-safe oil, never soak in water 

Made in Peru

Although they are big, these bowls are very easy to care for. Before using, clean the bowl with a soapy (no detergent) sponge. Never soak your bowl in water. Rinse with a wet clean sponge and remove any soap from the bowl. Dry with a soft cloth. Condition the bowl before use. Rub beeswax or food-safe wood conditioner inside and outside your bowl. Do not use too much and make sure to rub off any excess. The bowl should have a beautiful luster without feeling sticky. Should the wood on your bowl raise slightly (become rough), we recommend sanding lightly with fine steel wool or extra fine sandpaper and condition as above. 

After every use, clean with a sponge and towel try. Condition as needed.

Please note:  Due to the dimensional weight, there is a flat $34 shipping charge for these bowls to ensure they make it to your home safely.
