Spotted, as they say, at Target: these burl-y, handmade-ish wooden bowls on sale. Not quite clearance, but going fast. Single shots, post-jump.
Apparently part of a Root subline, they are made of Asian fir stumps, an otherwise forgotten wood that—according to the sticker—helps encourage quicker reforestation by making way for seedlings.
They had a quality heft and nice finish that felt rather un-pre-fab.
The Wood Platter was reduced to $19.99.
The Medium Dara Flat Cut bowl, $29.99.

Those are pretty cool
Yesterday, I saw the same bowls at Whole Foods (priced higher!)
You can get these for less at TJMaxx/Home Goods.
I bought mine at Winners (Canada) for $9.99. I have it on my landing strip as a key catchall.
Be sure and oil it as directed, they crack severely in dry climates.
I just bought this same bowl for the landing strip... at Marshalls for $5 (it's not my favorite store, in general, but I was pleased to find bamboo cutting boards and wooden bowls for 1/4 of the price).
Ditto on Marshall's. I found mine there for cheap.
I know natural wood bowls (and accessories) are a fad right now, but having seen these in person, they look kind of lumpy and inelegant.
Yeah definitely go to Homegoods or TJ Maxx, much cheaper.
