Heartwood Studio

Heartwood Studio is located five minutes west of downtown Duncan in the beautiful Cowichan Valley. Here visitors will find a wide assortment of reasonably-priced, useful and decorative products hand-crafted from local woods, using eco-friendly methods.

 

Wood-turner Ken Broadland specializes in making functional salad bowls from beautiful woods such as this spalted curly maple bowl. Finishes are food-friendly and non-toxic.

 

A popular wedding gift is a set of salad bowl and servers. These are made of curly maple.

 

Utensils available at Heartwood Studio include several different styles of salad spoons and servers, stir-fryers, cooking spoons, spreaders, salsa spoons, scoops and much more. Most are made of maple or arbutus, with plum, apple, dogwood, cherry, yew and others also in stock.

 

Although Ken's main concentration is on combining form with function, he also enjoys turning artistic pieces such as this rough-edged maple burl bowl.
