    Default Holland Bowls

    I looked up the web site. Extensive product line.

    Fine handcrafted solid wooden bowls, salad bowls, wooden cutting boards & utensils and a food safe wood preserver. - Home

    They get good money for what I consider a factory made bowl.
    So much timber, so little time.

    I reckon it's misleading and deceptive to call that bowl handcrafted

    They hold the cutter with their hands, they sand holding on to it with their hands.

    That has to make it handcrafted.
