I have to admit I was rather please with this little bowl. In my opinion it would look perfect sitting on a desk full of pistachios or M&M’s or other tasty treats. Measuring up to the brim it holds 1 ½ cups. Another thought would be use it as a personal pudding bowl! Use it with confidence as the wood was sealed with food grade walnut oil and then finished with a walnut oil based wax. With this combination the bowl has a nice hard long lasting natural finish. The diameter is 5 ½” and the height is 2 ¾” and the depth comes to 1 ½”. The base is wide enough for this bowl to be used as a catch all for keys and change or someone might even use it for their potpourri. I burned 3 lines on the underside for decorative purposes. With the natural colors of this wood and a finish that allows you to still feel the grain, this bowl is certainly a one of a kind and a winner! 4Nov17 BLP171 For more info see:
You should be well pleased with this bowl my friend its a lovely piece of turning as always. There is that reddish tinge which I must think is part of the Pecan woods colour...nice. Nice clean lines to this pedestal bowl. I don't think beads or other decorations would have added to this bowls beauty apart from those burnt lines which do finish this bowl off perfectly.
ReplyDeleteHi Les! I wasn't sure whether to burn the lines in this one or not. Ended up doing it. The jury is still out on it for me. If push comes to shove, there's enough wood on the walls to take them out and re sand and finish it. I guess I'll leave it alone for now. Never know. Someone might buy it tonight. Take care, my friend!
