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:

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

Each Schooner bowl is tied from 36 feet of natural manila rope — worked entirely by hand into a continuous knot that takes time and skill to form correctly. 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.
