$795.00

This handcrafted Curupay bowl showcases deep ember‑red undertones, dark chocolate streaking, and a sculpted shallow profile that highlights the wood’s natural fire‑like glow. Individually shaped by artisan Ben Balzer, this 16″ centerpiece blends dramatic color, refined grain movement, and modern sculptural presence in one of the most striking Curupay forms produced at Talking Wood Studio.

Curupay (Patagonian Rosewood) — Dense, Fiery, and Naturally Dramatic Curupay is prized for its density, durability, and intense color palette, ranging from warm reds to deep browns with natural dark streaks. In this Ember Edition, the grain shifts from glowing ember‑red warmth to darker streaking, creating a smoldering, fire‑lit visual effect that feels bold, powerful, and unmistakably premium.

Shallow sculptural profile — modern, refined proportions. 4.8 lb weight — dense, substantial, and grounding. Clean grain field — consistent and richly colored.

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.
