Dave Regester Deep Bowl – 30cm

Dave Regester Deep Bowl – 30cm

Every great salad starts with a great salad bowl. The Dave Regester Ash Bowl is perfect for just that. Featuring a 30cm width and deep sides, it is big and wide enough so you can pile in the leaves and have room to mix up the ingredients without making a mess. With its typical beige-to-light-brown hue, ashwood makes these pieces attractive and aesthetically pleasing in the home. All Dave’s pieces are turned on the lathe using locally sourced wood in Devon. They are all finished with sunflower oil and beeswax and are best looked after by hand washing. Hot running water is usually sufficient, but a rub with a scourer and a dab of washing up liquid will get rid of more resistant gunge.  As they are used, they develop a patina reflective of the stains and scratches of that use and if the grain begins to look a little dull this can be enhanced with a light application of sunflower oil.

What makes this so special is that the timber used has been shown to contain properties which make it more resistant to the development of bacteria on its surface.
