About this piece.

Turned with the bark left on, so its rim is the outside of the tree: naio’s dark, rough bark around pale, fine-grained wood.

Naio: a hard, fine-grained wood that grows wild nowhere but Hawaiʻi, once shipped to China as a stand-in for sandalwood. More about naio.

Like everything Kaleb sells, it came from a tree that was coming down anyway. The wood dried slowly and went back on the lathe when it was ready, and there’s only one of this one.

Buying it.

Buy it here

Add it to your bag and check out by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or bank account. Kaleb gets the order the moment you pay and emails you, usually within a day or two.

Pick up or ship

Pick it up in Kāneʻohe by appointment, or choose shipping in your bag. Wood going to the mainland needs a USDA agricultural inspection before it’s mailed.

Returns

Within 30 days of purchase. You pay the shipping to send it back, so ask Kaleb for the address first.

Looking after it

Hand wash, dry it standing up and rub in a little food-safe oil when it looks dry. The full care guide.

Your bag

Nothing in it yet. Every bowl is one of a kind, and the class is a day on the lathe with Kaleb.
