imageWelcome  to  doughbowlmaker.com. If you want a beautiful wood bowl that is handmade (not turned on a lathe) a biscuit or bread bowl for mixing dough, or a salad bowl big enough for the whole party - you're at the right place! I offer a wide variety of hand carved bowls, and all are handmade by me - here in the USA. I never try to cover over the fact that they're handmade, and I'll often leave light tool marks or a slight "rock" to the bottom to accentuate this fact.

Please look at the "NEWS" page for updates on what I'm doing...

I have just added a full page of "Working Bowls" (Bowls with no additional finish applied) as well as JP'sGems. I put a wide selection on this time - square (my granddaughter Katie has corrected me "again" --- it's a rectangle) almost round, and ovals. Something for almost everyone.

I just put on a page of the "JP's Gems" and there's some beauties there to see. There was a lot in these for me to find, and I hope you'll like them.

 I had an interesting phone call on July 2nd. A Lady (and her husband) in Nebraska that had just received a bowl I mailed them wanted to thank me for their bowl and we talked for about a half hour. While talking to them I found that she works for Cabela's (best place on the internet to buy fishing/hunting items) and while helping one of her customers get exactly what they wanted - her customer brought up my website and Susan (my customer) pulled up my site and liked what she saw.  ...All of this being said to "THANK Ya'll" for continually bringing up my bowls and website to family , friends - and even mail order specialists  that you've never met but felt a bond with.  I get a lot of hits every month from contacts such as this, and my "Satisfied customers" along with folks that are interested in what I do are the only advertizing I have. Thanks for spreading me around !

Also a Special Thank You to the "Chickens in the Road" Forum. I get a ton of visits from these fine folks and they have a very interesting website.

 I'm working 6 days a week making bowls - and trying to fill the drying room with those bowls that will be divided between this website and the 2010 NC State Fair. I've already been asked to be there in October, and I want to get more ready hoping for some of the prettiest ones ever.

   IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING A VISIT TO MY SHOP, PLEASE READ THE BOTTOM OF THE "NEWS" PAGE .... Thanks!!!

>>>>>>>  Every bowl on this site is 100% useable !  <<<<<<<  If your desire is to have a totally handmade bowl like "Grandma used to have"... or you want a center piece that would be a beautiful  addition to any room of your home - then you're at the right place! Since 1988 I've placed bowls into the hands of over a thousand folks who've shared that same desire, and performed my craft - demonstrating how they're made in front millions - both in person and on TV.

               Enjoy your visit, and please come back again soon!                   image                                               JP Madren - "The DoughBowl Maker"

         Returns ...

This bowl was added on 7/24 to the "JP'sGems" page and is a beautiful small round bowl. It's over 16" long 14.5 wide and almost 4" deep.

 My wife told me it wouldn't make it over 2 days on the website - she's probably right (usually is). It will probably be gone by the time you read this, but I just wanted to show it's beauty for all to enjoy.
