Sometimes when I am turning a bowl I like to guess what the capacity of the bowl is going to be. I was off a cup with this one. I was guessing it would be a 5 cupper but it’s a 4 cupper with a little bit to spare. All in all a nice capacity for the average family serving bowl. After all, hardly no one puts veggies and smashed spuds in a bowl only up to the edge of the brim! They pile it on in there. The bowl measures 8 ¼” in diameter, 3” high and 2” deep. The wood was first sealed with food grade walnut oil and then finished with a walnut oil/shellac mixture. Using a combination such as this gives the bowl a nice hard long lasting natural finish. I burned a line on the top of the rim and just below it on the outside for decorative purposes. Use this bowl with confidence and it will look good anywhere you use it. 3Nov17 BLP170 For more info see:
Nice clean lines once again- lovely. There is a slight reddish tinge to the wood which I like. The burnt in black lines adds to this bowl very nicely.... I like it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Les! The red shows up in pecan now and then. I like it to come out and surprise me. Those lines are literally burned in. I use an old 1/2 skew to put them in with. Works well. Glad you liked it!
