Turk's Head Rope Bowl | Hemp Rope | Coastal Artisan Decor | Odd Cod Studio

Hemp rope has a finer texture and a lighter natural tone than manila — softer in the hand, more contemporary in feel, and distinctly coastal. Tied by hand into a Turk's Head Knot in our North Shore Massachusetts studio, our hemp rope bowls bring a quieter, more refined quality to the same traditional maritime craft.

Every bowl is tied from a single continuous length of hemp rope — no adhesives, no forms, no shortcuts. The knot tightens and locks as it's worked, creating a dense, durable base that holds its shape over time.

Available in three sizes:

• Cutter — our largest bowl, tied from approximately 36 feet of rope
• Launch — our mid-size bowl, tied from approximately 28 feet of rope
• Dinghy — our smallest bowl, tied from approximately 20 feet of rope

Each Cutter bowl is tied from 36 feet of natural hemp rope — worked entirely by hand into a continuous knot that takes time and skill to form correctly. Hemp is a premium natural fiber and the finished bowl reflects that. These are not mass produced pieces. Every bowl that leaves our studio is one we're proud of.

Why You'll Love It: Hand-tied using traditional maritime knotwork. Natural hemp fiber — no synthetics. Made by hand on the North Shore of Massachusetts. Functional and sculptural. Gets better with age.
