When you look at all the coloring
involved naturally with this hackberry bowl I think there is a certain majestic
look to it. Another great quality about
this bowl is it has a small “footprint” and a high volume. After all the bowl is only 9 ¾” in diameter
and holds a whopping ¾ gallon measured to the brim. The height is 5” and the depth is 4” and even
with the concave bottom that leaves a nice bottom for stability. This type of bowl, with it’s dimensions are
really popular with households that what a large capacity bowl but don’t have
really large dining tables. This bowl
will work really well for that. There is
a nice lip for ease in holding and picking up the bowl. There are a couple of small defect burring
spots right under the lip. They add a bit
of homemade character to the bowl. Fill
it with salads, veggies or even popcorn!
After all the wood was sealed with food grade walnut oil and then
finished with a walnut oil/shellac mixture.
A combination like this gives the bowl a nice hard long lasting natural
finish. With almost half of the bowl the
dark gray to almost black shade, all provided my Mamma Nature, this bowl is
highly attractive and will get folks to talking when they see it. After all besides being rather majestic
looking it does have a certain WOW FACTOR to it. 12Dec18

Just loving the grey colouration, the light brown and the bit of spaulting to this bowl, makes it a really wonderful and stand out piece of art. This will certainly take pride of place on someone's table without a doubt. Another excellent piece my friend. Well done.
ReplyDeleteHi Les! It is a good looking bowl. Hopefully it moves soon. Then again, if not I may keep it for myself!
