There is no doubt that this is a great looking and useful piece of pecan turning. And, it has a nice rustic appeal to it as well. There is a slight roughness that I purposely left on both lips and a wonderful knot hole in the base that does not go all the way through. The color variations that come naturally to this wood really make this server stand out. It holds a pretty fair amount of goodies for you. The outer ring holds 3 cups measured to the brim and the inside bowl holds 1 cup. It can be used to nuts and candies or even chips and salsa or dips. The outside diameter is 10 ¾” with the inside bowl measuring 4 ½”. The outer ring is 1” deep and the bowl is 1 ¾”. The total height is 4” and without the lid 3 ½”. The wood was sealed with two coats of food grade walnut oil and then finished with a walnut oil/shellac mixture. This combination gives the piece a nice hard long lasting natural finish. 19Feb18 SDP53

Thanks, Les! Glad you liked it. We've been having quite the monsoon going so things are moving very slowly right now. Hopefully someone will feel the same way you did on this and it will go fairly quickly. Never know! Good hearing from you, my friend!
