Lovely Flared Pecan Wood Bowl


Now here is something that you don’t see everyday!  A pecan wood bowl with flared wings like this will look good on any table.  Fill it with your favorite treats whether it is fruits and nuts or candies.  Though not meant to be a serving bowl, it does hold 4 cups of liquid before it ran over the low side.  The minor cracks that you see were filled with clear glue and natural dust to keep things looking as close as possible to the way Mamma Nature wants them.  The length is 11 ½” with a width of 7 ¾”.  The high end is 4 ¼” and the low side is 3”.  The depth is 2”.  This bowl was a bit hazardous to turn with the flared wings.  But, it certainly was fun.  The wood was sealed with food grade walnut oil and then finished with a walnut oil/shellac mixture.  Using a combination like this gives the bowl a nice hard long lasting natural finish.  10Oct19  BLP228
