Vintage Yellow Cedar Burl Bowl, Totino Bob, Pacific Northwest.

Large hand-carved yellow cedar burl wood centerpiece bowl signed “Totino Bob” and dated 20.2.70. This sculptural Pacific Northwest studio craft piece features dramatic natural burl figuring, flowing organic contours, and a substantial live-root base with rich amber and honey-toned grain throughout.

Carved from a single piece of yellow cedar burl, the bowl showcases exceptional natural movement and texture typical of West Coast Canadian artisan woodwork from the late 20th century. The asymmetrical freeform shape gives it strong organic modern, rustic modern, and wabi-sabi appeal, making it ideal as a coffee table centerpiece, entryway display, or decorative art object.

The underside is hand-inscribed:
“Yellow Cedar
20.2.70
Totino Bob”

Condition is vintage with visible wear consistent with age and use. There is a significant age-related crack running through one side wall of the bowl, along with smaller surface marks and scuffs. The piece remains structurally displayable and visually impressive but is best suited for decorative use rather than food service.

A striking one-of-a-kind studio craft object with strong Pacific Northwest character and excellent visual presence.
