Oak & Epoxy Bowls
The most demanding objects we make. Each bowl begins as carefully selected pieces of Norwegian oak, arranged and cast in high-quality epoxy resin to create a unique turning blank. The process takes patience – and no two results are ever the same.
Oak pieces cast in epoxy resin
Selected pieces of oak are arranged in a mould and cast in high-quality epoxy resin. The resin fully encapsulates the wood, creating a solid turning blank. Curing takes hours.
Hand-turned on a lathe
The cured blank is mounted on a wood lathe and turned by hand into its final shape. This is where the bowl emerges – the combination of oak grain and epoxy depth revealing itself as material is removed.
Sanded, polished and finished
The bowl is sanded through several grits, polished to a smooth surface, then treated with oil and wax. The finish brings out the depth of the resin and the warmth of the oak grain.
Slow making in a fast world
We do not make hundreds of the same thing. We make a few – sometimes only one. The material decides what shape it wants to be. Our job is to listen, guide and finish.
Every piece takes time. Turning a bowl on a lathe, waiting for epoxy to cure, sanding through five grits, applying oil by hand – it cannot be rushed. The result is an object that holds that time inside it.
We work from a studio in Norway, with Norwegian oak and sustainably sourced materials. What we make ends up in homes across Europe – on kitchen counters, bathroom shelves, dining tables.
How it's made
Material selection
We start with the material. Norwegian oak and other hardwoods are selected for grain, density and character. For epoxy pieces, we choose colours and pigments that complement the wood – or stand alone.
Reclaimed wood is used where possible. A piece of oak that was once a kitchen bench might become a bowl. That history stays in the object.
Turning & casting
Wood objects are turned on a lathe by hand. The shape emerges slowly – we remove material until something beautiful is left. For epoxy objects, we mix, pour and wait. Epoxy cures over hours, sometimes days.
The combination of wood and epoxy – where the two materials meet – is where the most interesting things happen. That edge is never the same twice.
Sanding & finishing
We sand through several grits – starting coarse, ending fine. This is where the surface character comes from. The smoothness of an epoxy piece, the slight texture of an oak bowl – both are decisions made by hand.
Finally, pieces are oiled and waxed. Natural oils protect the wood and bring out the warmth of the grain. Epoxy surfaces are polished to a glass-like finish.
The materials
Norwegian Oak
Oak is the backbone of our kitchen pieces. Hard, dense and beautiful – it develops character with use and age. Norwegian oak has a particular warmth to its grain that we find in few other sources.
We use whole slabs where possible, and reclaimed material where it is interesting. Every knot and grain variation is a feature, not a flaw.
Epoxy Resin
High-quality, food-safe epoxy resin is the medium for our decorative pieces. It can be coloured, swirled and layered – creating effects that look like glass, stone or something entirely new.
Each cast is slightly different. The way epoxy flows, where the pigment settles – these cannot be fully controlled. That unpredictability is part of the work.
Exotic & Rare Woods
For turned pieces like our cups and bowls, we sometimes use rarer species – Sour Jujube, for example, with its honey-warm tones and fine grain. These are sourced responsibly and used sparingly.
A cup turned in Sour Jujube is not just a cup – it is an introduction to a material most people have never held in their hands.
What machines cannot do
A machine can produce ten thousand identical bowls. We can produce one bowl that is truly itself. The variation – the slight asymmetry, the unique grain pattern, the particular colour swirl in the epoxy – these are not defects. They are the proof of human making.
An object made by hand holds time in a way that a factory product does not. The hours of turning, casting, sanding and finishing are present in the surface. You feel it when you hold it.
We make things slowly. We think that matters.
