Description

The Northeast Kingdom is forested with a large variety of hardwoods which we use to make our wood bowls and other products. All the wood bowls, wooden pens and other wood pieces are made at the Sanderson home and studio located in East Burke, just 2 1/2 miles north of the Village. We welcome visitors to our studio and feel free to say hello to our friendly donkeys and rabbits while you're here.


We only use wood that is native to our area. Each bowl we make is one of a kind, hand turned from a single chunk of wood. Each bowl is air dried for several months to allow the bowl to move naturally as it dries. After the bowl has dried we turn it to it's final shape and finish it. We sign and date all our bowls. We figure that this wood has already lived one lifetime in the tree. If we make a good bowl from that tree it should stick around for quite a while longer. It is nice to think that our bowls will be passed down from one generation to another. Years from now someone can look at the bottom of one of our bowls and know that it came from Vermont, who made it, when it was made and the kind of wood it was made from.
