This expansive, organic piece breathes new life into a forgotten fragment of timber. Originally rescued from a workshop offcuts pile as a simple log end, it has been shaped into a functional sculpture through a large-scale end-grain woodturning. The dish honors the striking growth rings and warm, radiant color variations unique to honey locust wood.
The form is tailored to a specific everyday ritual, serving as a dedicated vessel for pistachios. The smoothly turned central well holds a generous supply of nuts, while the broad, elevated live-edge rim provides a thoughtful, surrounding tier to catch discarded shells. The piece balances a smooth, finely sanded surface with a satisfyingly weighty presence, giving it a solid and grounded feel without appearing bulky. Elevated gracefully on integrated wooden feet, the wide, undulating live edge showcases the natural contours of the original log slice, marrying its rustic forest origins with careful studio craftsmanship.

Construction: End-grain turned from a reclaimed log end

Features: Dual-tier layout for serving and shell collection, elevated footed base, and a natural undulating live-edge perimeter.
