$675.00

This large Ribbon Sapele bowl showcases luminous golden‑red tones, dramatic ribbon movement, and a powerful sculptural presence. Individually shaped by artisan Ben Balzer, this 14″ centerpiece blends warmth, motion, and architectural elegance in one of the most substantial Sapele forms produced at Talking Wood Studio.

Ribbon Sapele — Luminous, Shimmering, and Dramatic

Ribbon Sapele is known for its long, parallel bands of shimmer that shift under changing light. This bowl features a golden‑radiance pattern, where the grain reflects warm copper‑gold highlights across the surface, creating a glowing, horizon‑like effect. The result is bold, radiant, and unmistakably premium.

Figure & Grain Highlights

• Golden ribbon movement — shimmering vertical bands • Copper‑red heartwood with warm metallic undertones • Large 13.7″ diameter — commanding centerpiece scale • Tall 3.7″ profile — elegant sculptural lift • Heavy 5.2 lb weight — substantial presence • Clean, uninterrupted grain field — natural depth and clarity

This bowl reads like a glowing landscape — layered, luminous, and expansive.

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.

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.
