Large Red Oak Centerpiece Bowl
Is
it possible that someone would think that this is not a great looking
centerpiece bowl? I doubt it. And, with it being turned from gorgeous red
oak who do you think can pass this bowl up?
It is also fitting to note that this is the 75th bowl turned
from red oak. You will find a nice lip
to add to the appeal. There is a small
amount of natural edge with this bowl.
One of the things that is so impressive about this bowl is the capacity
of it measuring at one gallon. That will
hold a lot of salad, fruits and nuts, and if you so desire popcorn. You might decide to use this as a large
family sized popcorn bowl. The diameter
is 13” and the height is 4”. The depth
is just a bit over 3”. You will find a
wide ring on the bottom for decorative purposes. The wood was first sealed with food grade
walnut oil and then finished with a walnut oil/shellac mixture heavy on the
shellac. Using this combination gives
the bowl a nice hard long lasting natural finish. 21May18

I like this red Oak bowl, lovely grain pattern and large size. Not much more I can say has you have already said it in your description apart from well done Dave.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Les! I am getting where I turn the larger bowls less and less now. Not that many sell anymore compared to small and medium sized ones. But, I do try and keep a couple around just in case. Glad you like it. I do like red oak.
