Spalted Maple Burl Bowl

This small hand-turned bowl is crafted from spalted maple burl sourced in Langley, British Columbia, where the forests of the Fraser Valley produce some of the most beautifully figured maple wood.

Spalted maple is formed when nature begins the slow transformation of wood on the forest floor, creating intricate dark lines and swirling patterns that make every piece completely unique. In burl wood, the grain grows in unexpected directions, revealing extraordinary textures and natural movement within the wood.

Carefully shaped on the lathe, this bowl highlights the wild character of the burl while keeping a smooth, elegant form that feels beautiful in the hand. The interior reveals the dramatic natural markings that make spalted maple so treasured by woodworkers and collectors.

At 5 inches wide and 3 inches high, this bowl is perfect for holding small treasures, jewellery, herbs, crystals, or simply resting on a shelf as a piece of natural art.

At Moon and Moss, each wooden piece begins in the forests of British Columbia and is shaped by hand into something both useful and meaningful, a small reminder of the beauty found in nature’s quiet transformations.
