{"product_id":"fir-blocks-and-blue-epoxy-bowl","title":"\"Buoyant Buoys\" Hand Turned Fir Blocks in Epoxy Bowl","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuoys mark the places that matter — channels, hazards, moorings, the invisible lines that keep sailors safe. Out on the water they bob and right themselves in every swell, salt-faded and sun-bleached, their bright paint worn down to something quieter and more honest. Up close, a weathered buoy is a beautiful object — all texture and tide-mark, shaped by years of doing exactly one thing perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe nautical soul collects these moments without thinking about it. The way light hits the water at a certain angle. The sound a hull makes against a dock. The particular weight of a line in hand. They are people who feel most themselves when the horizon is wide and the wind is doing something interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis bowl carries that feeling home. Fir blocks are suspended in ocean-blue epoxy resin, revealed in cross-section by Jeff's lathe — their grain and edges caught in the resin like driftwood frozen in a swell. Wide and low, it sits the way a good buoy sits — grounded, present, exactly where it belongs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterials: Fir + epoxy resin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmbedded Elements: Fir blocks, suspended in ocean-blue epoxy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm: Bowl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: Each piece varies — one of a kind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso Beautiful As: A catch-all, potpourri holder, entryway dish, or standalone art piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect For: Ocean lovers, nautical enthusiasts, and coastal dwellers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMakes an Exceptional: Birthday, holiday, housewarming, or coastal gift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandcrafted By: Jeff, one piece at a time — no two are ever exactly alike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e🪵 Care Instructions: This vessel is finished with oil — there is no epoxy coating or sealant on the wood.
