10" White Oak Serving Bowl
One
way of describing this bowl turned from white oak is warm. It does give off a warm and fuzzy kinda
rustic feeling, doesn’t it? A
combination of light and dark browns, with heavy border lines really makes this
bowl attractive. You even have a small amount
of natural edging to it. This bowl is
perfect for those who want a medium sized bowl for putting veggies or salads or
other tasty treats in. After all
measuring to the brim it holds just a tad over 4 cups. The diameter is 10” with a height of 1 ¾” and
a depth of 1”. The wood was first sealed
with food grade walnut oil and then finished with a walnut oil/shellac
mixture. Using this combination gives
the bowl a nice hard long lasting natural finish. A bowl like this does not come around
everyday so you might just want to get it!

Large Red Oak Centerpiece Bowl
Is
it possible that someone would think that this is not a great looking
centerpiece bowl? I doubt it. And, with it being turned from gorgeous red
oak who do you think can pass this bowl up?
It is also fitting to note that this is the 75th bowl turned
from red oak. You will find a nice lip
to add to the appeal. There is a small
amount of natural edge with this bowl.
One of the things that is so impressive about this bowl is the capacity
of it measuring at one gallon. That will
hold a lot of salad, fruits and nuts, and if you so desire popcorn. You might decide to use this as a large
family sized popcorn bowl. The diameter
is 13” and the height is 4”. The depth
is just a bit over 3”. You will find a
wide ring on the bottom for decorative purposes. The wood was first sealed with food grade
walnut oil and then finished with a walnut oil/shellac mixture heavy on the
shellac. Using this combination gives
the bowl a nice hard long lasting natural finish. 21May18

Naturally Gorgeous Pecan Pedestal Bowl
What
a wonderful looking bowl! You will
consider yourself a very lucky person if you buy this one. All the gorgeous colors you see are totally
natural. A rustic beauty for sure you
will see some cracking on the outside but don’t be concerned. Any cracking you see was left purposely for a
more rustic and natural appeal. It is
spacious for a bowl of this size as it holds 3 cups measured to the brim. Great bowl for nuts, candies and other tasty
treats. The bowl is 7 ¼” in diameter, 3”
high and has a depth of 2”. The wood was
sealed with food grade walnut oil and then finished with a walnut oil/shellac
mixture. This combination gives the bowl
a nice hard long lasting natural finish.
One of a kind for sure so don’t hesitate to grab it up! 16May18

7" Square Pecan Bowl
Now
and then I try to bring something a bit different, and here it is! A square bowl! It is unique and since it is turned from
beautiful pecan wood it is also quite good looking. You have the makings of a knot on one corner
that I decided needed no help in the way of added color. Now I am not going to claim that it is
perfectly square but it close enough. A
rustic beauty for sure, and it even holds a nice 3 cups measured to the
brim. It is basically 7” square, 3 ¼”
high, and has a depth of 2 ½”. I thought
it sorta fitting that the photos be taken with it full of pecans. The wood was first sealed with food grade
walnut oil and then finished with a walnut oil/shellac mixture. A combination such as this gives the bowl a
nice hard long lasting natural finish.
This bowl may be used for displaying nuts or candies or even used as a
unique serving bowl. 11May18 BLP188 For more info see:

9 1/2" Rustic Gem Pecan Bowl
There
is no doubt in my mind that this awesome pecan bowl is a rustic gem in the
truest sense. The minor cracking, the
knot hole on the outside, and the natural coloration make this a true winner. This will look really good sitting in the
middle of your table full of fruits and other tasty treasures. The volume of this bowl measured at ½ gallon
to the brim. That doesn’t mean you can’t
pile more in it! Smashed spuds and some
salads will pile nicely in this bowl.
The diameter is 9 ½” with a height of 3 ¼” and a depth of 2 ¾”. The wood was first 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. Some of the cracks were
filled with natural pecan dust and clear glue.
Just enough to seal them and keep the rustic appeal of the bowl. 28Apr18

7 1/4" White Oak Bowl
When
you see a bowl like this one there is a certain amount of wow factor. The natural color of white oak makes it
really stand out from other woods. Some
might say it is too small but let’s get serious about this. Not that many folks need a huge bowl. Most households have small to medium sized
dining tables. So, this bowl is actually
just right for most people. It is 7 ¼”
in diameter, 2 ¾” high and 2 ¼” deep.
Don’t let the size fool you as it does have a capacity of 3 cups
measured to the brim. That is more than
you might think. The wood was sealed
with a couple of coats of food grade walnut oil and then finished with a
mixture of walnut oil and shellac. This
gives the bowl a nice hard long lasting natural finish. You will find some small minor cracking here
and there which is typical of this wood so don’t let that bother you. They just add to the rustic appeal. 22Apr18

Spiffy Pecan Natural Edge Bowl
This
has got to be the most spiffy nut or candy bowl that you can own! The natural beauty of pecan wood and add a
full ring of bark, this bowl is hard to beat.
It is more spacious that it looks.
The bowl holds 3 cups measuring it to the brim of the bark. The bark was reinforced with clear glue to
help keep it in place. The wood was
sealed with food grade walnut oil. Then
it was finished with clear high gloss spray shellac. The spray was used in an extra effort to help
keep the bark in place. The outside
diameter is 6 ¾” with an inside diameter of 4 ¾”. The highest point is 3 ¾” and the lowest is
3” with a depth of 2 ½”. This is without
a doubt a one of a kind piece.
