Is this a goodie bowl or what? Makes no difference whether you use it for
nuts and candies, it will work well. You
might even use it as a catch all bowl for keys and change and the like. No matter the usage you pick, this bowl
turned from beautiful cedar elm will look real good. For those who have never heard of Cedar Elm,
it is also known as Texas Elm and Texas Cedar Elm. It is referred to as
cedar elm because it commonly grows around cedar trees. And feel confidence putting edibles in it as
the wood was sealed with food grade walnut oil and then finished with a walnut
oil based wax that includes carnauba.
The bowl is 7 ½” long, 4 ½” wide, 3” at highest point, 1 ¾” at the
lowest. The depth is 1” measured to the
lowest side level and the volume measures 1 cup. Now seeing the volume was measured to the
lowest side level, that does not mean you can’t just pile goodies in until they
fall out!!! Enjoy this beautiful and
unique shaped bowl. 25May19 BLCE9

Wow Dave another knuckle bruising turning ( hope it didn't ). Beautiful shape with a nice base. I realise before you can turn an item like this, there is a bit of preparation of the wood to do before mounting on your lathe. Another well turned and finished bowl.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Les! Yeah, when doing one of these if you don't do the prep work, you are asking for disaster. Glad you like it.
