The Gatherer | Hand-Turned Tennessee Walnut Bowl

A place for gathering, shaped by hand and rooted in the character of Tennessee wood.

Individually hand-turned by Craig Hunter, owner of Laurel & Stone Woodcraft, this one-of-a-kind bowl celebrates the natural beauty of locally harvested walnut. Harvested and processed by Craig himself in Middle Tennessee, the wood carries a story that begins long before it ever reaches the lathe.

Its distinctive silhouette features a generously curved, organic rim that opens into a deep, softly rounded center. Rich walnut tones, subtle variations in color, and naturally flowing grain give the piece a beautiful depth and warmth. The result is a bowl that feels both rustic and refined, with a shape that makes it just as lovely displayed on its own as it is incorporated into the everyday rhythms of home.

Perfect for a coffee table, entryway, kitchen island, or dining room centerpiece, The Gatherer offers a beautiful place to collect small treasures, hold decorative accents, or simply be admired for the craftsmanship and natural character of the wood.

Made slowly and thoughtfully, this is more than a decorative object. It is a piece of Tennessee, shaped by hand and made to be enjoyed for years to come.

Care & Maintenance

To preserve the natural beauty and longevity of your wooden piece, a little extra care goes a long way.

• Hand wash only. If used for food, clean gently with warm water and mild dish soap. Never place wooden pieces in the dishwasher.
• Avoid soaking. Prolonged exposure to water can cause wood to swell, crack, or warp.
• Dry promptly. Wipe with a clean towel and allow to air dry completely.
• Keep away from extreme temperatures. Avoid microwaves, ovens, and prolonged direct sunlight.
• Condition periodically. When the wood begins to look dry, apply a thin coat of food-safe mineral oil or a suitable food-safe wood conditioner, provided it is compatible with the original finish.

With proper care, your handcrafted wooden piece can be enjoyed for years to come.
