Welcome
Not Just a Bowl. A Work of Art.
Every piece is handmade, unique, and unapologetically original.
OUR Work
Crafted with intention. Designed to stand apart.
At Thor's Woodshop, we take pride in exceptional artistry and craftsmanship. Every bowl is meticulously made by hand using high-quality materials and traditional techniques.
Most of our creations come from urban lumber — wood that would otherwise end up in a landfill or fireplace. We reclaim wood from freshly cut city trees, discarded pallets, broken furniture on the curb, and just about anywhere we can find it. Then we transform it into something useful, beautiful, and lasting.
This process isn’t easy. Milling and drying wood from a fresh-cut tree takes far more effort than buying kiln-dried lumber. So does dismantling and repurposing an old desk or porch swing. But we believe the extra work is worth it. It adds meaning, challenge, and character to each piece.
Because of the way we work and the materials we use, every item we make is truly one-of-a-kind. We don’t use templates or batch production. Each piece is shaped by what nature — and the past life of the wood — gives us. That’s where the art lives in our craft.
So, if you fall in love with a bowl, pen, or cutting board on our site, please know it may not be replicated. That piece might have come from the local school library’s old shelves, a dying tree with rare spalting, or a porch swing built by someone’s grandfather. Once that wood is gone, it’s gone.
