10 1/2" Elm Serving Bowl


Elm is an interesting wood with the natural colors and grain patterns.  Many have heard me say that everybody needs a bowl, but not everybody needs a huge bowl.  This is a nice medium range bowl with a diameter of 10 ½”.  The depth of it is 2” with a height of 3”.  The volume measures 8 cups.  I know, I know.  That’s one half of a gallon.  That is a pretty good amount for salads, veggies and even some popcorn!   And, another nice thing about this bowl is it is very light only weighing 1 ½ lbs.  You might even want to use it as a centerpiece bowl full of fruits and nuts.  The wood was sealed with food grade walnut oil and then finished with a walnut oil/shellac mixture.  This gives the bowl a nice hard long lasting natural finish.  14Apr19  BLE64

    Lovely bowl with simple clean lines with a small base which I think will lift the bowls body just slightly off the table, giving it a floating look.( I think anyway ). Nicely turned, I like it.
