Our Philosophy


We like to create things that are not only beautiful but also useful. The main finish we use on our bowls is shellac which is food grade. It's only real drawback is that it is damaged by alcohol. We also can use mineral oil and beeswax. Blended together those become what is known as salad bowl finish. It does not come cheap and must be renewed periodically. The mad scientists in us wants to blend our own because we can do it more inexpensively. We are reluctant to offer it except on special request because if not cared for well moisture will cause our products to delaminate. We want people who buy these products to get years of enjoyment out of them.

We like to experiment and create new and different products. If you have ideas that you think we could create, share it with us. We are constantly developing new products and we are quite open to the ideas of others. Keep in mind we do have equipment and financial limitations. New products will be announced on our "What's New" page before they are added to the catalog.
