Flame Maple Bowl — 11″ — Master Grade — Luminous Flame Rise Edition — One of One

$725.00

This Master Grade Flame Maple bowl showcases luminous rising flame figure — long, upward‑moving ribbons of chatoyance that glow as the bowl is turned. Individually shaped by artisan Ben Balzer, this one‑of‑a‑kind piece combines clarity, motion, and radiant color in a balanced 11″ sculptural form.

Flame Maple — Vertical, Luminous, and Alive Flame Maple is prized for its ribboned figure, but luminous rising flame is a premium variant where the grain appears to lift upward from foot to rim while glowing under directional light. This bowl displays continuous rising flame, creating a dynamic sense of motion and depth.

Figure & Grain Highlights • Upward‑moving flame — long, continuous ribbons with strong clarity • Bright chatoyance — transitions from gold to warm amber under changing light • Shallow‑medium form — amplifies vertical flame movement • Strong interior luminosity — interior glows as the bowl is rotated • Balanced 11.3″ diameter — ideal proportions for display and use • Lightweight 1.4 lbs — refined and easy to place

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 amplifies the flame figure. No mass production. No duplicates. No second editions.

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.
