## Title Champlain Bowl, Medium

## Subtitle Hand-turned in Vermont from a single piece of cherry. Sized for two to four people. The grain reads like topography.

## Description Almost every wooden bowl sold in the United States is CNC-turned — a computer-controlled lathe spins the blank against a programmed cutter, finishes it on a mass schedule, and sprays it with industrial polyurethane. The bowls all look the same because they are the same.

Andrew Pearce's shop in Vermont turns each bowl by hand on a lathe. The maker reads the grain a tree made and follows it; the same blank produces a different bowl in different hands. Cherry from Vermont, finished with food-safe oil, no plastic coating. The grain reads like topography across the curve.

The Medium Champlain is sized for two to four people — popcorn, fruit, salad, a wedge of cheese with a small knife. Two hundred and fifty-five dollars for a bowl that gets to the dinner table for the next thirty years.

Every purchase funds one sauna session for one cancer patient. A wooden bowl is a small held warmth — the warmth of food, the warmth of a tree's life converted into a vessel — and one stranger gets warmer too.
