7" Square Pecan Bowl
Now
and then I try to bring something a bit different, and here it is! A square bowl! It is unique and since it is turned from
beautiful pecan wood it is also quite good looking. You have the makings of a knot on one corner
that I decided needed no help in the way of added color. Now I am not going to claim that it is
perfectly square but it close enough. A
rustic beauty for sure, and it even holds a nice 3 cups measured to the
brim. It is basically 7” square, 3 ¼”
high, and has a depth of 2 ½”. I thought
it sorta fitting that the photos be taken with it full of pecans. The wood was first sealed with food grade
walnut oil and then finished with a walnut oil/shellac mixture. A combination such as this gives the bowl a
nice hard long lasting natural finish.
This bowl may be used for displaying nuts or candies or even used as a
unique serving bowl. 11May18 BLP188 For more info see:

This is a knuckle bruising turning if you get it wrong, I hope you didn't. Lovely bowl, I like it and yes you don`t see many square bowls. It has a lovely light colouration and a bit of rustic thrown in for good measure. Well done Dave.
ReplyDeleteHi Les! I managed not to lose any parts or hide while doing this one. Close a couple of times, but no bleeding. Glad you like it. Hopefully it will be a quick seller telling me to do more.
