Gorgeous Pecan Wood Winged Pedestal Bowl


Is it OK if I give this bowl a big WOW???  I think it kinda deserves it, don’t you?  Just look at the natural colors, grain pattern and to add a bit of extra rustic flavor a fantastic looking crack in the shape of a fish hook.  The crack was filled in layers with clear glue and natural dust so it should never cause a problem of any kind.  On the bottom is what I believe is a knot hole gone a bit crazy.  Cool looking, too.  The length of this piece is 9 ½” and the width is 6 ¾”.  The height is 2 ½” and the depth was measured at 1 ¼” at the low side.  The volume is about 2” measured to the same low side.  The wood was sealed with food grade walnut oil and then finished with several coats of shellac.  Using these ingredients gives the bowl a nice hard long lasting natural finish.  The pecan bowl will not last long.  6May19  BLP213  $37.50

  1. Yes WOW WOW. I like this winged bowl ever so much, after all its beautiful. The flowing shape the light brown colouration goes well with the lighter colour of the wood. Nicely turned and a not so easy bowl to turn. Well done my friend.

  2. Thanks, Les! This one took some patience, for sure. No rushing it. But, it paid off I think. Glad you liked it.
