  • 1.  Walnut base and Metal Bowl

    Posted 01-20-2026 11:40

    Good morning, who are you all using for solid walnut bases and silver or brass bowls?  It has been years since I have ordered anything like this.  Customer wants a 11" or 12" base, 5-6" tall with a metal bowl on top for a perpetual award.

    Any help you fine folks can offer is appreciated.

    Depending on the quality of the bowl customer is wanting, I would use different sources. I get bowls from Kirk & Matz, Saxton Industrial, Creative Gifts International, or Leeber.  As far as the bases, I currently produce whatever I need in-house.  You could check out the stock bases JDS and Marco offer to see if there is something that works for your customer.  If custom is necessary, check out Colorado Heirloom.
