Sanderson's Wooden Bowls

Sanderson's Wooden Bowls Sanderson's Wooden Bowls is a husband and wife team, Sam and Weeza Sanderson, who handcraft each of their wooden bowls in their East Burke, Vermont studio

Our woodworking studio is open to the public, and we encourage visitors to the area to stop in and see how our Vermont wooden bowls are made. Upon arrival, most visitors are interested in the log piles, the tractor, chainsaws and other evidence of the rough work that goes into making our authentic Vermont wooden bowls from the logs. We buy logs from local loggers, and only use wood that is native

to our area for our bowls. People sometimes bring us special wood, perhaps from a tree on their property, which we are happy to turn as a custom project. Our showroom hosts a variety of bowls, platters, dishes and other items turned out of wood. Visitors are impressed by the variety of bowls, their shapes, sizes, and especially their quality. We use only food safe oils on our wooden bowls, so these bowls are both beautiful and functional. Visitors to the studio also enjoy the unusual bowls with special shapes, some made from burls, and some turned from tapped Sugar Maple trees with the tap holes from years ago still showing in the finished bowl. Some of our pens, bottle stoppers, fan pulls, and key rings are turned from deer or moose antler or from unusual pieces of wood with gorgeous unique grains. We are open regular hours 9 am to 5 pm Thursday and Friday. Rest of the week is by appointment or chance. Please contact us at 802-626-9622 or [email protected] if you are interested in visiting on Saturday thru Wednesday. Our home is also home to a herd of friendly Nigerian Dwarf Goats and some Miniature Donkeys. All visits to our studio will include a farm tour so you can meet these very friendly and loving animals!

A customer brought in a Cedar Burl to see what we could make out of a piece of their own wood. This bowl is 14 inches in diameter and 6 inches high. This bowl will get one more coat of food safe Linseed Oil then be allowed to dry for about two weeks. After the bowl is completely dry it will be buffed to bring out the figure and character of the wood.

These are some bowls made from a Spruce Burl. A land owner had a tree taken down. They wanted something made from their own wood. We were able to make two bowls from this Burl. One bowl is what we call live edge where the rim of the bowl is formed from the outside of the piece of wood. The second bowl is the usual type of bowl. The business cards are covering the lettering that the customer wanted to personalize their bowls. If you have a special piece of wood that you would like something made from you can contact Sanderson's Wooden Bowls. We can decide together what could be made from your wood. Depending on the size and type of wood we could possibly make some bowls, pens, flower vases or bottle stoppers. It would be interesting to see what could be done.

A customer had a big Maple that fell in a windstorm. They brought over the wood to see what we could make out of it. We were able to get 26 bowls, some pens and some Bottle Stoppers. The bowls shown are just a few of the bowls we made.

Did you know? Each of our wooden bowls is a labor of love, taking a whole year to transform from raw wood to a finished bowl! As we bid farewell to another amazing year, we're grateful for our friends and supporters. Here's to a new year filled with more moments to create, cherish, and share. Happy New Year from Sam and Weeza 🎉
