The wooden bowl or trencher was one of the most versatile tools in an early American home. It was useful in the kitchen, the garden, the laundry room and even in the barn. A bowl made from wood was sturdy and relatively easy to come by.

This product is created by Worktree, a wood-crafting workshop in Auroville that produces well-designed and functional wooden products — all handcrafted and made from responsibly sourced acacia wood. The workshop itself derives its name from the acacia tree, which is also locally known as ‘worktree’. This product is handcrafted and therefore slight variations in colors, textures and forms are inevitable and aren’t flaws.
