Hand-Turned Camphor Laurel Wooden Bowl

This is a hand-turned wooden bowl crafted from camphor laurel, signed and marked beneath. The wood’s natural grain is highly figured, with flowing bands of golden-brown and warm reddish tones that highlight the organic character of the piece. The bowl rests on a small raised foot and features a gently flared, asymmetric rim, giving it a sculptural, contemporary presence while remaining functional.

Camphor laurel is a hardwood known for its durability, fine finish, and distinct aromatic qualities, often used in artisan woodturning. The hand-signed base suggests it was made as a unique studio piece rather than mass-produced.

Styling Ideas:

• Use as a sculptural centrepiece on a coffee or dining table.

• Perfect for holding fruit, nuts, or dried botanicals.

• Works well layered with ceramics or brass accents to bring natural warmth to a modern or vintage interior.

• Can be displayed simply as an art object to show off its grain and form.
