Colorful Cedar Elm Pedestal Bowl


Every time I look at one of my turnings from cedar elm I am amazed at the natural colors of this wood.  Truly remarkable.  This nice bowl is just right for candies, nuts and other tasty treats.  Some folks may decide to have it sitting on a sideboard as a catch all bowl for keys and change.  It does hold a fair amount as the volume came to 3 cups.  That’s a lot of pistachios, mixed nuts, or M&M’s!  The diameter of the bowl is 7” with a height of 4”.  The depth came to 2 ¾”.  There is even a little knot in the bowl, but not to worry.  The bowl does hold water just fine.  The wood was sealed with food grade walnut oil and then the finishing was done with a walnut oil/shellac mixture.  Using the combination such as that gives the bowl a nice hard long lasting natural finish.  26Jul19  BLCE14
