Classic Handcrafted Wood Holiday Nut Bowls Unique & Unusual Handcrafted Wood Gifts, Home Decor & Home Furnishings, Original Clocks and Custom Furniture

VanEss Expressions is ceasing all operations.

We will sell what little remains in our On Line Store , but then we are going to
re-think exactly what we want we want to do & how best to proceed in the future.

VanEss Expressions is a Ma & Pa operation - and we both work full time 'regular' jobs.
We started VanEss Expressions because we love working with wood and creating
unique & original wood gifts and home decor items. But in the past few years - it has
started to totally consume our lives, and we have found it just impossible to keep up.
We hope to be back someday- but I don't know when.

We apologize for not responding to those who have recently sent in inquiries,
and our sincere apologies and 'Thanks' to our long time, devoted customers.


Handmade Wooden Christmas Nut Bowls

VanEss Expressions offers a variety of handcrafted vintage style wood Holiday Nut Bowls. Each is unique & individually handmade in our Minnesota workshop. Classic wood Nut Bowls are a holiday entertainment tradition and make excellent Christmas gifts.

Our 'Standard' wood nut bowls run between 8" - 9" across and are about 2½" high (not including the stem/handle). Our 'Large' wooden nut bowls would be wider and/or deeper. Both include 1 nutcracker & 2 picks. Our 'Party' nut bowls run 9 - 10½" across, 3½" high and comes with 2 nutcrackers & 4 picks. The stem/handle rises from a center pedestal which conveniently holds the nutcracker(s) & picks. Our standard types of wood are Oak, Ash, Maple, Cherry, Hickory and Walnut Our multi-wood nut bowls are very popular. All nut bowls have felt on the bottom.

During the year, we keep only a few Nut Bowls in stock, then increase our inventory closer to the Christmas holiday season. During our 'Nut Bowl Season' inventory changes quite quickly and, although we try to keep a variety available, it's difficult to keep up.

Please check out our Wood Nut Bowls page to see the Christmas Holiday Nut Bowls currently in stock, and feel free to Contact Us to find out what we are working on.
