Exquisite 6 Sided Pecan Bowl


This 6 sided bowl turned from beautiful pecan wood truly is exquisite.   After all, take a look at the grain patterns along with the spalting lines that Nature added.  The bowl holds a useful 2 ½ cups.  That is a pretty fair amount of pistachios or other tasty goodies.  The diameter of the bowl is 7 ½” with a height of 2 1/2” and a depth of 1 ¾”.  The wood was sealed with food grade walnut oil and then finished with a walnut oil/shellac mixture.  Using this combination gives the bowl a nice hard long lasting natural finish.  Great bowl for nuts, candies, and even as a catch all bowl for keys and change.  4Dec18  BLP206

  1. A two toned light brown colouration with six sides...super. These type of bowls and not many people, unless you are a woodturner, know how at times how difficult they can be to do. But I think you have mastered how to do them judging by the photos. The shape of this bowls sides and base are also nicely done. Overall another winner my friend.
