Giant Ash Bowl A11V94

A monumental bowl from the Vanguard collection, hand-shaped from a massive old ash log that originally measured over a meter in diameter. At 75 cm across, it is one of the largest objects crafted in our workshop, bringing a commanding, sculptural presence into any interior.

Its bold form reveals the long life of the tree, with growth rings, checks and irregularities recording years of weather, strain and resilience. Natural Giant Bowl may live purely as a work of art – without a set function yet full of meaning – or become a stage for the objects and rituals that matter most to you. It is a piece that invites respect, wonder or curiosity, depending on the space it inhabits and the temperament of its future guardian.

At Scar & Wonder, work begins with abandoned and reclaimed wood. Each piece is an act of discovery: unpredictability shaping the silhouette, with singular marks – graceful cracks, voids, twists and textures – becoming its character rather than its flaws.

Every Scar & Wonder object is one of a kind, finished with natural ancient methods and marked with its own hand-stamped signature.

Every piece from the Vanguard collection comes with a unique Book of Origin, documenting its journey from the source of the wood, through the making process, to the final details of its finish. This book marks the beginning of a new life: a place for you to set your intention as its steward and to inscribe the next chapters of its story.
Together, we shape value on multiple levels – sentimental, emotional and financial – choosing depth over disposability and standing for a world in which longevity and meaning outweigh surface glitter and passing trends.
