You just gotta love an elm bowl turned in a pedestal style. With some natural flaws in the wood left in place this bowl has a great rustic appeal. Between a slight roughness on the lip to some burring in the wood you just can’t pass this bowl up. The volume measured at 6 cups of water which it held just fine. The diameter is 8 ½” with a height of 3 ¾” and a depth of 1 ¾”. There are a couple of tiny worm holes in the bottom which I filled with clear glue and natural dust. This would look very good sitting as a centerpiece on your table full of tasty goodies. Of course you might just decide to fill it with smashed spuds or some other goodie as well. Use it with confidence as the wood was sealed with food grade walnut oil and then finished with a walnut oil based wax for a low sheen appearance. This combination gives the bowl a nice hard long lasting natural finish. 4Aug17 BLE55 For more info see:
A good looking Elm bowl, nicely turned shape and the colouration is lovely which elm always is. A nice foot to this bowl which I do like. Rustic and spalted, a lovely bowl, well done.
