The craftsmen turn this spectacular solid 15-inch Ebonized Cherry Bowl at the Holland Bowl Mill, one of the last commercial wood bowl mills in production in the United States.

The history of Ebony being used in carved furniture can be traced back to the ancient Egyptians. We have created a similar rich, lustrous large cherry wood serving bowl by using a process called Ebonizing. We make the ebonizing solution from two common products, vinegar, and steel wool. The steel wool is soaked overnight in a plastic container filled with vinegar, creating an “iron solution.” When this solution applies to the bowl, it reacts immediately turning the Cherry into a rich black color. Ebonizing is a safe, easy way to create beautiful bowls with originality and character.
