Simply Attractive Cottonwood Serving Bowl



This fine looking cottonwood bowl fit the words in the description very well.  It does have simple lines to it and with the natural colors of the wood make it elegant.  So, it’s a simply elegant bowl.  With the color variation of this wood, the grays versus the lighter colors, it is no wonder that this wood is as popular now as it was back in old west.  The wood for this bowl was sealed with food grade walnut oil and then it was finished with a walnut oil/shellac mixture, light on the shellac.  I went light on this mixture so you could still feel the grain in the wood.  Yet, doing that this bowl has a nice hard long lasting natural finish.  The bowl is 12 ½” in diameter, 2” high and 1 ¼” deep.  The volume measured out to be right at 6 cups filling it to the brim.  Great bowl for salads and other great goodies.  The bowl comes with easy care instructions.  21Jan18  BLCW92
