Ribbon Sapele Bowl — 15″ Golden Veil Edition — One‑of‑One

1 artículo queda

This large Ribbon Sapele bowl showcases warm golden‑red tones, sweeping ribbon movement, and a powerful sculptural presence. Individually shaped by artisan Ben Balzer, this 15″ centerpiece blends warmth, motion, and architectural elegance in one of the largest Sapele forms produced at Talking Wood Studio.

Ribbon Sapele — Warm, Shimmering, and Architectural Ribbon Sapele is known for its long, parallel bands of shimmer that shift under changing light. This bowl displays a golden‑veil pattern, where the grain rises in soft vertical waves, creating a glowing, horizon‑like motion across the surface. The effect is warm, radiant, and unmistakably premium.

Figure & Grain Highlights • Golden‑veil ribbon movement — long shimmering bands with molten undertones • Copper‑amber heartwood that glows under directional light • Massive 14.6″ diameter — commanding centerpiece scale • Tall 3.7″ profile — elegant sculptural lift • Heavy 5.1 lb weight — substantial presence • Clean, uninterrupted grain field — refined and consistent

This bowl reads like a glowing horizon — expansive, warm, and deeply grounded.

Artisan Craftsmanship Every bowl at Talking Wood Studio 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 Ribbon Sapele. No mass production. No duplicates. No second editions.

The bowl is beautiful. I ended up purchasing several other unique bowls for work colleagues and they just loved them. The compliments were overwhelming. A true work of art.

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.
