Butter Yellow Birch Bowl #10 by Cooper Ternes

Wooden bowls are full of stories. A wooden bowl contains the story of the tree and the forest where it grew. It contains the story of the maker, his tools, and the tradition of the craft. A wooden bowl also contains the story of the food you eat and the people you share meals with. A wooden bowl is personable and warm. With frequent use and care, it becomes part of your story.

This beautiful turned bowl stands approximately 2-3/8" tall and is painted with butter yellow milk paint. It is approximately 10-1/4" by 9-3/4" across.

Cooper Ternes is a former North House Folk School intern who turns bowls in the Scandinavian folk tradition. He is currently part of our Artisan Resident program. The tools and approach of these old makers inform the process he uses today.
