This little hemlock dish is made from a giant root ball rescued from a burn pile. We were passing a nearby campsite on our way home after a hike, and my partner noticed the branch sticking out from under a mound of firewood. He couldn't help himself and stole it! An act of love.
The texture of this wood has almost a velvety feel. Once you get your hands on it, really spend some time with it. It's just beautiful.
When you get this piece in your hands, spin it around in the light, and look for the shimmer. The ripples under the smooth surface appear to move as you turn it.
They are naturally UV reactive and glow a pale green throughout the grain under a blacklight.
Not to be confused with Poison Hemlock, a small bush resembling Yarrow, Western Hemlock is a tree, and perfectly safe to handle.
**Please note the red/green hue in the photos is light from my window film. The bowl itself does not have any unnatural coloring.
