The new owners of the farm saved the brown olive (olea africana) stumps of trees that were cut down decades earlier and taught the local herdsmen to carve bowls and spoons from the aged wood. No two bowls are alike. Every bowl is made according to the grain in the wood. The only power tool used in the process is a chain saw that is used to cut the stumps into workable pieces. After that, the carvers use machetes, chisels, and other homemade tools, some made from old harrow disks. The bowls are finished with broken glass bottles and sand paper and are then dipped in liquid paraffin, which protects the beauty of the wood.

Price: $179.90

We love these olive wood bowls that are carved from very old tree stumps on the Kahero Farm in Kenya's Rift Valley. The new owners of the farm had the stumps dug from the ground and cut into pieces. The herdsmen who work the farm carve the pieces into bowls with hand tools and sell them for extra income. The shape of each bowl is unique some are shallow with thick bases, some oblong with divets on the edges. All have the rich grain for which olive is known, and none of them are round. This piece of art is 9 by 9 inches.
