peterman's boards and bowls

Founded in the late 1990s by former Nantucket basket weaver Spencer Peterman, Peterman's Boards and Bowls is a Massachusetts-based woodworking studio dedicated to upcycling fallen New England trees. Operating out of workshops in Gill and Turners Falls, the brand transforms discarded logs—often destined for firewood or woodchippers—into striking, functional kitchenware. Peterman specifically seeks out wood disfigured by the early stages of decomposition, a process that yields the distinctive "ambrosia" or "spalted" markings that define the brand's signature aesthetic.
