Splendiferous Pecan Centerpiece Bowl
Some
may be wondering where in the world did I come up with the word splendiferous
from. Well, I really don’t know but it
does sound good, doesn’t it? This fine
looking bowl will look absolutely great sitting on anybody’s table as a
centerpiece. That is one of the really
nice things about the natural color of pecan wood. It pretty much fits in anywhere. You will find the makings of a knot hole in
the center of the bottom but not to worry, it does not go all the way
through. This bowl held 6 cups of water
just fine. The wood was sealed with food
grade walnut oil and then finished with a walnut oil based wax. I wanted this bowl to have a more natural
satin sheen to it and I think that was accomplished. Using the combination that was used here
gives the bowl a nice hard natural finish.
The bowl measures 10 ¼”, the height is 3” and the depth is 2”. 26Mar18

A centre piece bowl for sure, with that colour, shape and size it has to be shown off. Another excellent turning Dave, well done.
