Our ‘oversized’ Petrified Wood Basin is characterised by a raw and gnarly bark-like exterior and stone-like bowl. The majestic design creates a stunning rustic feature – whilst its generous proportions provide plenty of space for two. The raw material is crafted by hand and the inside of the bowl sanded to a smooth, glossy surface.
Petrified wood is salvaged from underground; buried under sediment for millions of years, it’s protected from decay caused by oxygen and organisms. Mineral-rich groundwater flows through the sediment and, overtime, the minerals replace the timber and take on the appearance of the bark and wood structure. Annual rings are often preserved too.
