Cottonwood Pedestal Bowl


We all see bowls of one kind or another everyday, I think.  A lot of them are from manmade materials and are simply put, just bowls.  But, now and then we see one that is rather remarkable.  This bowl turned from cottonwood falls into that category.  Not overly large in diameter (10 ¼”), it is still of a decent capacity of holding ¾ gallon measured to the brim.  With a height of 4 ¾” and a depth of 3 ¼”, all combined make this bowl remarkable.  Lest we forget the gorgeous natural colors of this wood.  The light and dark colors really make it stand out.  Whether you use it as a serving bowl or a display bowl for nuts and fruits, you will be proud to have this bowl sitting on your table.  Friends and family are gonna comment about it as well.  The wood was sealed with two coats of food grade walnut oil.  The finishing was done with a mixture of walnut oil and shellac.  Then the bowl was buffed with super fine steel wool.  Get this for yourself or even for a good friend or family member.  21Nov18  BLCW98
