Pick up this great gift idea. The beauty of woodcraft and function grow together in this one-of-a-kind bowl fashioned from the trunk of a mango wood tree. The flowing organic shape delicate grain and the warm hues of its unaltered bark distinguish this dense ecologically forested trunk-turned-bowl. After 15 to 30 years mango trees naturally stop bearing fruit but after it's harvested and hand-carved this malleable wood takes on a new life as a stunning home accent. The rich sweeping grain of this hollowed out trunk make it a natural spot for snacks like mixed nuts or decorative accents like painted pinecones or potpourri. When each mango tree is cut down the roots remain intact to encourage regrowth. A sapling is also immediately planted to replace the harvested tree and to continue the cycle. Due to this careful process of harvesting and replanting mango wood (or acacia) is a fully sustainable resource. This striking bowl comes from ecologically sound plantations where no more trees are cut down than is ecologically permissible. Handmade in Thailand. Essential Details: Handmade Item.
