BUYING GUIDE · Tamworth, Ontario

Choose Stinson wooden tableware

Choose a wooden object by the work it will do. A family of serving bowls, a rolling pin and a numbered carved burl are different purchases. Wood grain and individual availability matter, and a decorative piece should not inherit the food-use assumptions of ordinary tableware.

Which bowl dimensions fit the job?

The Ambrosia Maple bowl family lists four widths from 11 to 19 inches and heights from 4 to 7 inches. Compare the exact size to your table and storage space, then ask which individual piece is available; grain is naturally variable.

How should I compare rolling-pin shapes?

The French Rolling Pin lists straight and full-taper options, in maple or cherry, with a 22-inch length and 1.5-inch maximum width. Choose the shape and wood deliberately, then read the maker’s washing and maintenance guidance.

What is different about a carved burl?

Burl listings identify individual numbered pieces. Some are sold out, and a pictured object is not an interchangeable model. Confirm the exact piece and intended use; ordinary bowl-washing or food-use guidance should not be assumed.

Round Ambrosia Maple Bowls

The maker lists four sizes from 11 to 19 inches wide, with heights from 4 to 7 inches. The family carries a maker-stated Canadian manufacture and local-wood claim.

Confirm the selected size and available piece. Natural grain varies; the listing and Add to cart control do not prove checkout stock or delivery.

French Rolling Pin

Listed in locally sourced maple or cherry, with straight or full-taper options. The maker gives a 22-inch length and 1.5-inch maximum width.

Confirm the chosen wood, shape and current order status. The included linen bag’s manufacturing origin is not established.

collection

Individually carved burl pieces

The collection uses numbered listings for distinct carved wood pieces rather than interchangeable replicas.

Some listings are sold out. Ask about the exact piece, intended use and care; do not assume a burl is suitable for food or follows ordinary bowl-washing guidance.

Your next steps.

  • Measure the required size and storage space.
  • Confirm the available individual grain or numbered piece.
  • Ask about food use and care for the exact object.

Before you buy or book.

The shop currently carries an undated end-of-year retirement notice: wholesale orders have stopped, and retail continues only while stock lasts or until the Christmas break. Confirm current ordering and delivery directly. This is a working studio without a walk-in retail shop; ask before visiting. General bowl-care advice excludes burls.

The Canadian connection.

The official contact page places the workshop in Tamworth, Ontario. The selected ambrosia-maple bowl family is described by the maker as made in Canada using local wood. This does not establish the origin of every finish or accessory, or an independent sustainability certification.
