Etimoe Bowl — 18″ African Rosewood Crest Edition — One‑of‑One

$1,050.00

This monumental Etimoe bowl showcases warm rose‑gold tones, flowing ribbon figure, and a broad crest‑like form that commands attention. Individually shaped by artisan Ben Balzer, this 18″ centerpiece blends elegance, movement, and refined grain flow in one of the largest Etimoe forms ever produced at Talking Wood Studio.

Etimoe (African Rosewood) — Elegant, Warm, and Naturally Refined Etimoe is prized for its silky ribbon figure, rose‑gold palette, and gentle chatoyance. In this Crest Edition, the grain sweeps across the surface in soft, flowing waves, creating a calm, horizon‑like motion that glows under directional light. The effect is warm, expressive, and quietly luxurious.

Figure & Grain Highlights Silky ribbon figure — flowing, refined movement. Rose‑gold heartwood with warm amber undertones. Massive 18.3″ diameter — dramatic, gallery‑scale presence. Shallow crest profile — wide, elegant, and sculptural. 4.4 lb weight — substantial yet visually light. Clean, uninterrupted grain field — refined and consistent. This bowl reads like a glowing crest — expansive, warm, and quietly luxurious.

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, resulting in a glass‑smooth surface that highlights the natural glow of Etimoe. No mass production. No duplicates. No second editions.

Stunning centerpiece!

This bowl is exquisite and is a perfect centerpiece on the table as you enter my front door. The craftsmanship is remarkable and highlights the beauty of the grain. Love it!

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.
