Elm is an interesting wood with the
natural colors and grain patterns. Many
have heard me say that everybody needs a bowl, but not everybody needs a huge
bowl. This is a nice medium range bowl
with a diameter of 10 ½”. The depth of
it is 2” with a height of 3”. The volume
measures 8 cups. I know, I know. That’s one half of a gallon. That is a pretty good amount for salads,
veggies and even some popcorn! And,
another nice thing about this bowl is it is very light only weighing 1 ½
lbs. You might even want to use it as a
centerpiece bowl full of fruits and nuts.
The wood was sealed with food grade walnut oil and then finished with a
walnut oil/shellac mixture. This gives
the bowl a nice hard long lasting natural finish. 14Apr19

Lovely bowl with simple clean lines with a small base which I think will lift the bowls body just slightly off the table, giving it a floating look.( I think anyway ). Nicely turned, I like it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Les! Elm is a good wood to turn.
