This little dish, like many other madrone pieces in our collection was made from a downed tree we found that had fallen from a cliff near a waterfall. This dish is nicely sized for a salt dish, or small offering bowl.
Madrone is an especially moist wood. Because of this, as the wood dries and becomes harder, it naturally morphs, twists and distorts itself. The odd oblong and ovoid shapes you find in these bowls and dishes are a direct result of the wood reshaping itself. As your piece dries over time, it will get more textured and rippled. This is expected, and not a flaw or damage. Look out for minor changes, as they may continue to happen slowly over time.
