Crafted from mango wood, this beautiful salad bowl has been finely wood turned by artisans hailing from Jaipur, India. Mango wood is water-resistant, durable and highly sustainable as a range of material can be derived from a single bark. In the craft of wood turning, having skilled hands with geometrical precision is always the top priority. The wood gets turned into an offering with the use of a wooden lathe. The lathe does the job of rotating the wooden materials along a fixed axis. The rotating block of wood gets worked upon by cutting and carving it into proper and even geometrical angles, using precision steel tools. The operators who carry out this whole process are known as turners. They are essentially the artisans in the field of woodturning. Such wonder-workers were of such rarity during the British era in India that people addressed them as the "mystery of the turners guild." Even today, wood turning only gets used for making offerings with a high artisanal value like restored furniture, folk art-inspired offerings, and customized products. Its very process makes it impossible to fit in an industrial mass production scenario. If that is not as artisanal as it gets, we don't know what will be!
