Here you will find a collection of Hand Carved Bowls,
Platters and Spoons made
from different types of woods. Every Carved Bowl and Platter is unique,
with no two bowls being alike.
Each wood bowl or spoon is a handmade piece of art and
has its own one of a kind shape, color and wood grain.
Examples: Salad Bowl with Tongs, Wood Dough Bowl,
Fruit or Veggie Bowls, Spoons, Ladles and Salt Cellars.
All wood bowls, platters and utensils are food-safe, meaning you can put
just about any food item into a bowl or use the spoon with.
We use a mineral
oil-beeswax paste to coat our wood items with.
You can use the wooden pieces for a
variety of different things, such as for bread, salad, fruit, nuts,dips and chips.
Please contact us by e-mail or phone to check the availability of any piece.
Most bowls can be made within two weeks, if we don't have it in stock.
I can also customize a shape to suit your needs.
Over Tom Lowe's 24 years of carving he has made many different bowls and
platters. He is often asked what is your favorite shaped bowl.
"It would have to be the ones that I give as gifts to family and friends.
These bowls are made with the same quality as the ones that I sell,
however it is the feeling that I
receive from giving them that makes those bowls and platters special."
Over the years Tom has made Heart shaped bowls for Mom, sisters and wife. These are special reminders to them of how much they mean to him.
The men and friends of his life receive small handmade bowls
for change or decorative art bowls which
they use as coffee table accessories. He wishes he had taken pictures of all the
decorative art bowls he sold or gave away over time.
Even though he does not have
visual pictures of these bowls, the mental images like of a leaf shaped bowl, or a large carved platter or dough bowl. He enjoys carving many different things, but he always get a great sense of joy creating just the right piece for someone. As with a good friend who requested a dough bowl. She has put that bowl on her kitchen table and says that it reminds her of Tom and that it will be treasured always.
