A beautifully hand-turned wooden bowl made in Finland, showing the rich flame-like grain of curly birch (visakoivu). The natural form and light asymmetry give it a grounded, organic feel - every angle revealing a different rhythm in the wood.
Made by hand, likely in the 1970s–1980s, this is Finnish artisan craft at its most timeless: simple, functional, and quietly beautiful. Perfect as a centerpiece or for everyday use, it carries the tactile warmth that only natural wood and skilled turning can create.

ABOUT FINNISH WOODCRAFT
Curly birch (visakoivu) is one of Finland’s most treasured native materials, used by artisans for centuries. Its unique wavy grain forms through a natural mutation of the birch tree, producing a shimmering, almost three-dimensional pattern in the wood. Each piece is one-of-a-kind.
