Description
Made from native Rimu by Courtney Petley in Auckland, this Hemisphere Bowl brings together a precise cuboid form with a carved hemispherical bowl, allowing the geometry of the piece and the natural grain of the timber to sit in contrast.
Formed along the long grain, the end grain is revealed on opposing sides in a marbled pattern of light and dark browns and golds. A dark streak travels through one side of the timber and into the upper edge of the bowl, becoming part of the form as it is carved.
One of one. Handmade in Auckland, New Zealand by Courtney Petley.

- 【66】Courtney Petley
Courtney Petley is a self-taught woodworker based in Auckland, New Zealand, who found her passion for woodworking in 2014. Originally from the fashion industry, Courtney began carving with an axe, a knife and an old piece of Rimu floorboard, making her first kitchen utensil one winter evening. What started as a hobby grew into a full-time practice by 2017, expanding beyond kitchen utensils to include chopping boards, furniture, lighting and sculptural objects.
Working predominantly with reclaimed native New Zealand timbers, Courtney’s practice is grounded in an appreciation for functional design and the natural character of the wood. Each piece is made by hand, allowing the grain, colour, age and imperfections of the timber to remain an integral part of the finished object.
Courtney also shares her knowledge through spoon-making workshops, teaching others the hand-carving techniques that first began her own woodworking practice.
