In a small roadside workshop in Uganda, a father carves each bowl by hand, a craft he learned from his own father. His wife helps run their little shop while caring for their son, and together they keep a family tradition alive through the slow rhythm of wood and fire.

This salad bowl set is made from richly grained mahogany, shaped and char-finished using a traditional burning technique that deepens the wood’s natural color. The result is a smooth, warm surface with a subtle blackened edge, a texture that feels as timeless as it looks.

The set includes one large bowl, one smaller companion bowl, and a matching pair of serving tongs. Each piece is carved, sanded, and finished by hand, leaving behind small variations that make every set unique.

Sizes:

• Large bowl: approximately 12.5” diameter

• Small bowl: approximately 9” diameter

• Tongs: 12” length

Sold as a set of three pieces. Please allow for natural imperfections, these bowls were made by hand, not machine.

Use: Ideal for serving salads, fruits, or displaying as a centerpiece.
Care: Hand wash and dry immediately. Condition occasionally with food-safe mineral oil.

Sourced directly from a family-run workshop, supporting traditional craftsmanship and sustainable livelihoods.
A piece of their story, carved with care, made to last.
