Abstract

A mixing bowl includes a bowl body defining an exterior and an interior cavity and comprising a plurality of lamination segments. The lamination segments consist essentially of wood and are arranged in alternating layers of first and second types along a height of the bowl body with the layers of the first type including respective ones of the lamination segments having widths extending in a first lateral direction with respect to the bowl body and coupled together along joints extending in a second lateral direction with respect to the bowl body. The second lateral direction is perpendicular to the first lateral direction. The layers of the second type include respective ones of the lamination segments having widths extending in the second lateral direction with respect to the bowl body and are coupled together along joints extending in the first lateral direction with respect to the bowl body.
