Flame Maple Bowl — 15″ Master Grade — Sand Storm Flow Edition — One of One

1 item left

This Master Grade Flame Maple bowl features a sweeping Sand Storm Flow pattern — broad waves of flame figure that move across the surface like drifting light. At nearly 15″, it is a wide, elegant form with exceptional movement, luminous highlights, and a refined, sculptural presence. Individually shaped by artisan Ben Balzer, this one‑of‑a‑kind bowl blends clarity, motion, and scale into a premium centerpiece.

Flame Maple — Holographic, Dynamic, and Naturally Radiant Flame Maple is known for its shifting, holographic grain. This piece displays a Sand Storm Flow pattern, where the flame figure sweeps horizontally across the bowl in layered waves, creating a sense of motion and depth. The effect is warm, luminous, and unmistakably premium.

Figure & Grain Highlights • Wide flame waves — sweeping horizontal movement across the surface • Sand Storm coloration — warm golds, soft ambers, and pale highlights • Large 14.8″ diameter — strong visual presence • Lightweight for its size (2.8 lbs) — balanced and easy to display • Shallow, elegant profile — refined proportions with a gentle rise • Clean interior field — uninterrupted flame movement

Artisan Craftsmanship Every Talking Wood Studio bowl is shaped one at a time by artisan Ben Balzer. This piece was refined through progressive hand sanding, cured oils, and the full Beall Buffing System. The finish enhances the flame’s holographic shimmer and the warm tonal transitions across the surface. No mass production. No duplicates. No second editions.

Bought it as a Christmas gift for my wife. She adores it and is placed where everyone can see it. It has done everything from a decorative piece to candy bowl. Looks great and it's functional. Couldn't be happier with it.
