Attractive Pecan Pedestal Candy Bowl

I suppose you could say that this pecan wood is re purposed.  This was planned originally to be a large cake/pastry stand.  The edge in areas just was not going to work as a full stand.  So, being determined not to waste the wood I decided to see what would come from it and here you are!  With the natural colors of pecan and the knotholes, I think this is a winner.  And, so will you.  Yes, the wood has it’s flaws, but the beauty of it makes up for it.  The wood was sealed with food grade walnut oil and then finished with a walnut oil based wax.  This combination gives the bowl a nice hard long lasting natural finish.   The diameter is 8” with a base diameter of 4 ¼”.  The height measures at 4 ¼” and the depth is 1 ½”.  Though not meant to hold liquid the volume does come to measuring 1 ½ cups.  Now I am not gonna tell you that you have to put M&M’s in this bowl, but you have to admit they do look good in it.  17Jan18  BLP178   For more info see:
