This bowl is without any doubt nice
looking. It has a fairly large volume (6
cups) with a relatively small footprint.
Considering that it will not take up a lot of space on your dining
table. After all the diameter is only 9
¾” with a height of 4” and a depth of 3”.
That will hold a pretty fair amount of salad or other goodies. Use it for serving veggies or as a display
bowl for fruits and nuts. This bowl is
kinda hard to go wrong with, ya know?
The wood was sealed with food grade walnut oil which took 2 coats rubbed
in. Then the bowl was finished with a
mix of walnut oil and shellac with the mix being about 75% shellac. After adequate drying the bowl was buffed at
high speed. Using a sealing and
finishing combination like this the bowl has a nice hard long lasting natural
finish. Great bowl as a gift or get it
for yourself and make folks jealous!

I like the colour on this bowl, lightish with a very light shade of black, nice. Eight sided with a nice sloping sides and a small base, makes it I believe a seller. This will not be on your shelves for long. Yes a nice bowl to put fruit into. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Les! Let's hope it sells quickly. It was fun turning.
