This is not your mother-in-law's serveware. Or maybe it is — we don't judge. Handmade for us by Minneapolis furniture maker Peter Sowinski, the Multi-Purpose Conversation Piece is crafted from white oak timbers salvaged from a barn that once stood deep in Minnesota farm country. Its interior receptacle is sealed using mineral oil to keep it food-grade. The rest of the Multi-Purpose Conversation Piece is finished in Danish oil to give it a hard-wearing finish.

Flower, titanium straw, and social networking sugar not included.

Note

White oak — reclaimed or not — is a product of Mother Nature. Hence, not all Multi-Purpose Conversation Pieces will look exactly like the one pictured here. Each is one of a kind.
