Quilted Maple Bowl — 15″ Master Grade Painted Light Edition

$1,199.00

Item 18102 — Artist: Ben Balzer

Overview

This Master Grade Quilted Maple bowl is a breathtaking example of full‑surface quilting — the pattern shifts and ripples like painted light as you move around it. Kept intentionally shallow to showcase the wood’s natural drama, the bowl reveals a luminous, three‑dimensional quilted figure that changes with every angle and every beam of light. This is one of the most expressive Maple specimens in the entire catalogue, a piece the artist held onto for years before finally releasing it as a true collector’s heirloom.

Why This Piece Is Exceptional

Dynamic light response — quilting shifts, glows, and changes with viewing angle
Artist‑kept wood — held for over six years before being crafted and released
One‑of‑a‑kind — no other bowl will share this exact quilted pattern
Functional heirloom — display, serve, or gift with confidence
