About this item

This pommele sapele wooden bowl is made from what I consider exotic wood. I don't normally use much exotic wood. I mostly turn wood native to the US. Some years ago a woodworking friend asked me to help out a wood collector who was ill and was selling all of his inventory. When we got to his house there was wood stored everywhere. The sapele was in his living room and one bedroom. I bought out most of his stock. This pommele sapele wood bowl has lots of figure and really shows it when you turn it in the light. Pommele is the French term for dappled and it is especially apt for describing highly figured woods like pommele sapele. It's very hard to capture the chatoyance with the camera but the figure does really look 3-D. There is a very small drying crack that has been repaired.

What a great wedding gift this pommele sapele wooden bowl would make or give it as an anniversary gift. If you give this bowl as a gift, the recipient will think of you every time they look at it!

The oranges in the photo are for scale, not for sale, and do not come with the bowl!

About the maker

Sanders Woodworking

My name is Stephen Sanders. I am a maker of wooden bowls, puzzles, cutting boards and other assorted things for over 50 years. My job is to make something I can be proud of and highlight the natural beauty of each piece of wood I work with. Everything in my store I have made by hand in my workshop in rural North Carolina. Most of my wood is locally sourced but I do work with some exotics from South America and Africa. I have a passion for wood that began in my teen years and continues today. Though I don't have a favorite species of wood, I like highly figured, colorful woods, especially burls. In my early twenties, I apprenticed a nationally known woodworker in the mountains of western North Carolina, near Asheville. He taught me to be my biggest critic and to take pride in what I make. He stressed the importance of a fine finish. I'm proud of the quality of my work. In the last 15 years, I've shipped over 3000 bowls, platters, puzzles and cutting boards all around the world.
