Bowls

Every Blackburl bowl is handcrafted as a one-of-one piece in Fernie, British Columbia. Created from carefully selected hardwoods and, in many designs, reclaimed skateboard veneers, each bowl celebrates the natural character of the material while balancing sculptural form with everyday function.

Rather than following a fixed design, every bowl evolves with the grain, figure, and unique qualities of the wood. Some embrace clean, understated forms, while others introduce subtle layers of reclaimed skateboard maple or carefully considered details that create contrast without distracting from the beauty of the piece.

Every bowl is shaped, refined, sanded, and finished entirely by hand. Whether displayed as a sculptural object or used every day, each piece is designed to age beautifully and become part of the home for years to come.

No two bowls are ever identical. Every Blackburl bowl reflects the individuality of the materials and the quiet imperfections that define handcrafted work.

We source high quality Domestic and exotic hard woods for their beauty, durability, and character.

Every piece is a unique creation. No two are ever the same.

Giving new life to hand selected Hardwoods & skateboards

Proudly designed and handcraft in our studio in Fernie British Columbia.

This striking one-of-a-kind bowl is hand-turned on the lathe from reclaimed skateboard decks, revealing the vibrant layers of maple and dyed veneers that once formed high-performance boards. As the bowl is shaped, the stacked laminations create stunning organic patterns—bold rings, flowing lines, and colourful bands that make every angle visually unique.

The bowl features a distinctive rounded, almost spherical profile with a pronounced rolled rim, giving it a sculptural presence while keeping the form soft and balanced. The thick rim and curved walls highlight the layered skateboard construction, creating dramatic oval and eye-like patterns that naturally emerge from the wood.

Carefully sanded and finished to a silky smooth touch, the surface brings out the depth of colour and the natural warmth of the maple. The result is a functional piece of art that celebrates craftsmanship, sustainability, and the hidden beauty inside recycled materials.

Kizashi — Bowl (H Squared Gallery)
$425.00

Available only at H Squared Gallery: https://www.hsquaredgallery.com/product/kizashi-bowl/

The Kizashi Bowl is a one-of-one sculptural vessel that brings together the warmth of walnut and the unmistakable character of reclaimed skateboard veneer.

Built from individually shaped walnut segments, the bowl is accented with carefully placed reclaimed skateboard veneer that moves across the rim, through the interior, and beneath the form. The coloured layers appear as quiet moments of contrast, complementing the walnut rather than competing with it, and revealing themselves differently as the bowl is viewed from every angle.

Its broad, shallow profile creates an understated silhouette while drawing attention to the precision of its curves, proportions, and craftsmanship. Every surface is individually turned, hand-shaped, and refined to celebrate the natural beauty of the wood and the subtle geometry of the design.

Designed as both a functional vessel and a sculptural object, the Kizashi Bowl is equally at home serving food, displaying fruit, or standing alone as a centrepiece. Every piece is made individually, ensuring no two bowls will ever be exactly alike.
