$875.00

This handcrafted Etimoe bowl showcases warm rose‑brown tones, glowing chatoyance, and sculpted exterior curves that enhance the wood’s natural radiance. Individually shaped by artisan Ben Balzer, this 14″ centerpiece blends elegance, movement, and refined proportions in one of the most inviting Etimoe forms produced at Talking Wood Studio.

Etimoe (African Rosewood) — Warm, Silky, and Naturally Luminous Etimoe is prized for its silky ribbon figure, warm rose‑brown palette, and gentle glow. In this Glow Edition, the grain illuminates under light, shifting from amber to soft reddish‑brown in a warm, inviting gradient. The effect is elegant, serene, and quietly luxurious.

Figure & Grain Highlights Warm glowing Etimoe color — rose‑brown tones with amber highlights. Silky ribbon movement — refined, flowing grain. 14.4″ diameter — medium centerpiece scale with strong presence. Sculpted exterior curves — elegant shaping that enhances the glow. Balanced shallow form — refined proportions for modern interiors. 2.3 lb weight — substantial yet easy to place anywhere. Clean, uninterrupted grain field — consistent and luminous. This bowl reads like warm, polished rosewood — glowing, balanced, and quietly luxurious.

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.

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.
