Much like the rest of the Madrone from our collection, this piece comes from a tree we found upside down near a waterfall. It had fallen from a cliff in a recent storm. We're both pretty obsessed with madrone, so we made quick work collecting as much as we could carry.
This dish would be perfect for salt, herbs, or as an offering dish for a deity altar.
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.
