Description
Made from dark Swamp Kauri by Courtney Petley in Auckland, the Hemisphere Bowl is formed from the end grain of the timber, with a golden streak running through one corner and into the deeply carved bowl.
Raised on a solid geometric base, its height brings the bowl naturally within reach on a table or kitchen bench. Working into the end grain exposes the timber fibres and their shifting pattern, revealing the natural variation in colour and grain held within the wood.
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.
