Each Kitchy Bowl is handcrafted from one piece of either exotic or domestic wood. Keep one close by for easy access to your favorite herb while cooking or collect a little posse and decorate a table with an array of goodies and small noshes at your dinner parties. Your sugars and spices have never looked so good.

Every piece goes through an extremely thorough finishing process. Each bowl or vessel receives numerous passes of various abrasives, oils and waxes including 6 grits of sandpaper, a gentle water bath to bring out any remaining loose wood fibers, 0000 steel wool, two different buffing pads that work in the finishing oils, and finally a coat of wax is delivered on a piece of leather at an extremely high speed to accentuate the wood's natural glow.

To properly care for this item if used in the kitchen: Always rinse off any food and then gently wash the bowl or board by hand with warm-to-hot water and mild dish soap. Avoid abrasive cleaning products. Dry immediately. To ensure that any water absorbed by the wood evaporates, allow the piece to air-dry completely before putting it away. 

The beauty of handmade lives in the imperfections.
