The Michael Bowl

In partnership with Lee Freeland Hancock C'81 and Dr. Scott Toreano, The Riley/Land Collection is ecstatic to announce THE SEWANEE PROJECT, a collection of wooden kitchenwares created by hand, using trees from the Mountain. I (Joseph Riley Land C'98) will donated a portion of each sale to aid in reforestation across Appalachia.

The Riley/Land Collection is known for our wooden kitchenware. From our award-winning biscuit cutters to our extensive line of rolling pins to our extremely popular bowl line, people know that our products are exquisitely crafted, made with care, and will last a lifetime. The roots of these pieces share history with the roots of my family - on our farm in rural Tennessee. The vast majority of the wood comes from one of our parcels of land. We believe in being as zero waste as possible, so we have developed ways to utilize nearly every cut of wood, even down to ensuring that the shavings find a new home in Raku firing or gardening mulch/compost.

The pieces we craft are made to last a lifetime, durable enough to use rather than to just sit on a shelf looking pretty. The grain, tone, and character of the wood are part of the design. Each piece is - quite naturally - one-of-a-kind.

Each one named after a beloved member or part of the Sewanee community.
