Salvage-Yard Centerpiece

RECLAIMED TOOL BOWL


This product is environmentally friendly. Click icon for more information. This product was made by hand. Click icon for more information. An industrial work of art, this reclaimed tool bowl features discarded screwdrivers, hammers, wrenches and whatever else artist Tammy Roy can get her hands on.

The discarded pieces are collected by the artist herself from various steel manufacturers before she arranges them and then welds them all together.

"I am literally inside of their dumpsters picking through and separating pieces that inspire me," Tammy says. "I never know what I'm going to come across, and as a result, I never know what it will ultimately transform into."

Perfectly pieced together, this salvage-yard centerpiece proves that beauty and inspiration can be found in the most surprising of places.

Only ground shipping to the contiguous 48 states is available - please allow 3-4 weeks for delivery.

I purchased this as a gift for a "gear head" friend. While it was what I thought it would be, after receiving the item I think the price was a bit too high.[...]

Comments about RECLAIMED TOOL BOWL:

This product is unique in many ways. The tools that were used and the size of the bowl. You keep looking at it and notice old/new materials that are connected in this bowl. Very durable and worth the cost!

Service & Delivery comments:

I had to call several times to know if I was going to get this item before Christmas. I had no idea that this was coming from the artist and not the company. Overall, did get it in time and the wait was worth it!!!!!

Less a bowl. More of a wall hanging.

Cons:
Delicate

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about RECLAIMED TOOL BOWL:

This product is very unique, but too large and impractical to use as a "bowl" [...] Because it was described as a bowl, I expected to be able to use it. It really is better suited to a table centerpiece or wall hanging, in which case a hanger of some king should be included.

It is larger than I expected. It could be used as a centerpiece on a table, or maybe a magazine/mail holder.

Comments about RECLAIMED TOOL BOWL:

I ordered this for a friend's birthday, and I am glad I had it shipped to me first. The one shown as an example is much more attractive than what I received. It not merely an issue of the items being arranged more attractively, it's the fact that the one I received is 60% "filler" (big metal circles), large open gaps, and few tools. I feel rather cheated. It was not worth [$].

UncommonGoods Response: Thanks for your feedback! We've forwarded your comments and photo to the artist who is making some changes to ensure the bowls are of the highest quality. Please contact us at 888-365-0056 so we can help you receive a replacement.
