Flame Maple Bowl — 10″ Master Grade Luminous Flame Rise Edition — One of One

$445.00

This Master Grade Flame Maple bowl showcases a dramatic rising flame pattern on the exterior and a glowing, luminous descent on the interior. At 10″, it is a sculptural, visually alive centerpiece with exceptional flame movement, warm coloration, and a unified grain flow that transitions seamlessly from rim to base.

Flame Maple — Holographic, Expressive, and Full of Motion Flame Maple is prized for its shifting, holographic grain. This piece displays a Luminous Flame Rise pattern, where exterior flames climb upward in dramatic vertical motion while the interior flame descends in a warm, glowing flow. The dual‑direction movement creates a dynamic visual experience — rising energy outside, radiant calm inside.

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 both the rising flame and the luminous interior glow. No mass production.

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.
